Reincarnation

This is the ceiling of the lobby of the Congress Theater in Logan Square. At one time it was a movie theater. More recently it is a concert venue -- except on Sundays. On Sundays it hosts the Logan Square Farmers Market -- one of the growing number of year-round farmers markets in Chicago.

    What a beautiful place. So glad it is still in use.

    A dumb question, but what are farmers growing at this time of year? Greenhouse produce?

    It is NOT a dumb question! We have a number of meat and dairy vendors. As for produce it is mushrooms (oyster, portabello, shiitake, cremini), microgreens from hoophouses and greenhouses, and a lot of root vegetables (carrots, onions, potatoes, turnips, beets, rhutabagas) and apples that are overwintered.
