I was very sad when the Logan Square location closed - I spent a lot of money there and brought…read morevisitors who loved it. Finally had time to visit this location, which I was told was massive. Well - the building is massive - the little section that you can actually browse is tiny - and I mean like TINY. No rare books, genre sections barely a shelf long. I was in and out in 15 mins and even that was me trying. This was about 2 weeks ago. There was a giant section on the west side of the building with stacks of books that was roped off. Is this the inventory? Why can't I see those books too? Did I come during an event prep or is this literally how it is? If I didn't know this was the same organization, I never would have guessed it. I support their mission but what happened? Why is this location so bad? Hoping the Lake St location has some of that LS location magic because I'm so so so disappointed.

I lost a loved one earlier this year and had to make the difficult decision of letting a lot of…read moretheir items go. Among many things, their medical supplies were one of the most triggering for me to part ways with. Part of me wanted to toss them in the dumpster but then the other half of me was like, "Someone could benefit immensely from this." So I spent weeks figuring out places that would accept such things (and boy did I have a lot) and found the Heart to Heart Lending Closet in the Edgewater neighborhood. I connected with Laurie and she was totally understanding of my situation and accommodated a time for item drop off. They mainly take medical supplies and will take mostly anything related as long as they are intact and in good, working condition. The best part of this organization is that they give away donated medical supplies (free of charge) to those in need (local or global) who have limited resources to pay for costly items out of pocket. There is healing in knowing that the items you give (big or small) are getting a "second home" to someone who needs it the most. They not only accept donations but are always looking for volunteers. If there is an organization you could devote time to, this is one of those places.

I come to Copy Max mostly to fax paperwork from Chicago to Arlington Heights Illinois. While…read morediscovering Copy Max via Yelp, I took notice that many reviews mentioned price, which prompted me to stop in, plus it was near my neighborhood. During my first visit, I noticed the many services that Kenny Kim offers at Copy Max, which ranges from faxing; computer repair; laminating; mailbox; business cards and a place to use the internet. As someone that has went to FedEx often, I noticed the cheaper price difference in a heartbeat between the two, which was a big difference. Copy Max trumps FedEx prices by being cheaper, and you will not have to deal with a long line of customers going to Copy Max. I not only save with printing here, but with faxing as well! Copy Max charges $1.00 for your first sheet faxed then .75 for the next sheets needed to fax. As for printing, prints are .7 cents per page depending if its black & white or colored copies. Thomas G

This was not just an art exhibition; it was a wonderful celebration of AANHPI Heritage Month! The exhibition was professionally and tightly curated by Yidi Wang in their "Gallery 1701" that's on the second floor of CHICAT.  It was nicely lit with lots of natural light.  There was artwork with many different media. It was a beautiful space and show!  I also appreciated their mission!  The "Where Our Voices Unite" show runs from May 21st  to June 8th, 2026. All the staff including the curator Yidi Wang were very welcoming.  It was a nice surprise that we were served a delicious buffet with abundance of Asian dishes and fruits!  I have been to many art openings, but have never seen so much food in any of them before.  Wine and beverages were also served.  There were many large nicely table-clothed tables that we could seat ourselves.  It was literally a celebrative gathering for the AANHPI Heritage Month! It was nice that the 11th Ward Alderwoman Nicole Lee was a special guest and made a short speech.  The Executive Director Tina and two other directors also made a brief speech. CHICAT is a non-profit that is "building a community where creativity fuels enterprise", and is worth our support.
