Shortly before the neighborhood was named one of the coolest in the world by TimeOut, City Cast listener Cat Kliegle reached out to say Avondale is “like Logan Square’s slept-on sibling.” Cat takes host Jacoby Cochran right across the river to Clark Park to talk about how the historically Polish neighborhood has changed. Plus, she gives us her recommendations of things to eat, see, and do, including some recs for the Halloween season.

Learn more about Avondale's history as a Polish neighborhood by listening to our episode about Jackowo with Mary Visniewski and Joanna Marszalek.
