About John Rath House
2703 W Logan Blvd
John Rath House and Nearby Sights on Map
Fireside Bowl
There are better places to bowl and much better places to see live music, but this is hallowed ground for the teen punk of the '80s and '90s, when the Fireside was a cheap, all-ages venue punk, hardcore, emo, and more
Logan Square Skate Park
Ten ramps and half-pipes, benches, an asphalt surface, and a drinking fountain
Congress Theater
Opened in 1926 and still adorned with gorgeous terra cotta, the semi-decrepit Congress Theater is now home to the twin powers of Mexican wrestling and indie rock of an occasionally exceptional caliber
Logan Square Farmers Market
In 2012, the Chicago Reader named the LSFM 'Best Farmers Market' in the city
Logan Square Auditorium
It's under-utilized on weeknights, but this ballroom-with-a-liquor-license hosts weekend rock shows and the occasional label showcase for mainstays of Chicago music like Thrill Jockey
Logan Theatre
Opened in 1915 with 975 seats and still showing movies today, although it has since been carved up into four screens for second-run Hollywood fare
Diversey River Bowl
Never mind the bollocks, it's the Rock 'n Bowl
Palmer Square Park
Designed by William LeBaron Jenney, designer to the (Victorian) stars, and a lovely job at that - with plenty of trees, shade, and green space
Gorilla Tango Theater
Not many places in Chicago can match Gorilla Tango for sheer quantity - even on cold, quiet Wednesday nights, you'll find two unknown theater companies doing low-budget comedies at this Bucktown storefront theater
Covenant Presbyterian Church
This Presbyterian church is housed in the former Cathedral of All Saints of the Polish National Catholic Church in Chicago
