No kidding. I live right next to Wicker Park - home of the 'starving artist' and 'hipster' community. There's so much 'vintage', 'distressed', 'outsider art' crap around here it makes me sick. The shops charge a fortune for it too!

Gentrification pushed most of them to Logan Square and my neighborhood, Pilsen. But I can't criticize too much, my ex worked at the old Filter coffee shop in Wicker Park and I'm a bit of a hipster myself. Except I work 9-5.

Very true - I generalized a bit. Two of my best friends live in Logan square and it's the source of my two greatest scores. A mint RCA 630TS and a rare Philco 15DX. Lots of very cool buildings around there too.

I really miss Filter - still get mad every time I walk by the BoA that took its place

I've seen "FILTER" marked on one or two buildings under renovation on Milwaukee Ave. Is that for real ?
