Some 949 days ago, I took the afternoon off work to meet Daniel Pogorzelski and Jacob Kaplan at a senior center to see their presentation on the Avondale neighborhood. That day we discussed writing a book (along with Elisa Addlesperger), which was officially released on July 21, 2014.
So that’s my excuse for not keeping this blog up to date.
Here’s a schedule of our book signing events, where you can pick up a copy of the book and get it signed by the authors.
| July 27 @ 6 PM | Podlasie Club | 2918 N. Central Park, Chicago |
| August 23 @ 3 PM | Comfort Station | 2579 N. Milwaukee, Chicago | September 2 @ 9 PM | Hungry Brain | 2319 W. Belmont, Chicago | September 6 @ 6 PM | City Newstand | 4018 N. Cicero, Chicago | November 18 @ 6 PM | Mirabell | 3454 W. Addison, Chicago | TBD | Harold Washington Library | 400 S State St., Chicago |
If you’re not in Chicago, you can pick up a copy online at Arcadia Publishing. I hope you enjoy reading about Avondale’s history as much as we did uncovering it!
