Last night I ate at Charlie’s Ale House up in Andersonville. The food was pretty alright, but what really impressed me was the atmosphere and uniqueness of the space. Everything from the woodwork in the bar down to the individual booths had a very awesome vintage feel to it. I’m sure I’ll be back some time.

I keep spending more and more time up on Chicago’s north side and I’m beginning to think that when my lease expires in Logan Square I’m going to move into the Andersonville/Edgewater area. The area is fairly clean and there are a lot of great shops and restaurants up there (especially right off of Clark Street). I’d also be closer to the red/brown line which would make my daily commute shorter and put me closer to some of my friends that live on the north side.

I really love the place I have now, but I can usually count on it taking at least an hour to get anywhere in the city since its about a 10 to 15 minute walk to the train and then however long from there. It’s not terrible, just a slight inconvenience.

Of course, there is still plenty of time before my lease is up (September 1st, I believe), so I’ll just have to wait and see.
