With tens of thousands of people sharing space in one of the largest cities in the world – it seems impossible that anything so public could also feel personal. And yet a plot of land surrounded by rehabbed apartments offers rare commodities here in the City of Big Shoulders: tranquility & a sense of contribution.
At 2655 Thomas, there lies something more than just an urban respite. Transplants and native Chicagoans who yearn to see something grow, but have no space, can find their cravings fulfilled while fostering a place for all to enjoy. Through the years it has avoided development and instead the protected land has transformed from a scene of broken glass and garbage to a real honest to goodness getaway around the corner.
Carefully planted flowers and loved plants creep and grow under the shade of several trees lining this entire city plot. Walking in (the gate is always open) you pass through a rock and mortar circle that doubles as seating for those with weary feet. Herbs and vegetables grow in hand built raised beds on the sunny south end, cared for by those all too eager to show off various species of edibles scattered about in the soil should you catch them on a workday (usually mid morning on a weekend).
In this Humboldt Park place there really does bloom a sense of creation and care that is certifiably one of a kind in a city where one is a very lonely number.
TRANSIT:
The garden lies less than 2 blocks away from two major CTA bus lines: The 52 (running north/south on California, walk 1.25 blocks east down Thomas), and the 70 (running east/west on Division, walk south down Washtenaw 2 blocks and turn left). Residential Street Parking only. Strollers and bikes are welcome and their owners are asked to respect the surroundings when visiting.

Everybody in the startup community is familiar with the idea of shared spaces; places like Affinity Lab and Geekeasy in DC offer startups the ability to share resources and spaces allowing for dynamic relationships to take place as well as creative collaboration. Why should this innovative concept be limited to technology? The Blind Dog Café at Darnells took this stroke of ingenuity and made it their own, creating DC’s very first pop-up shop for artisan-crafted coffee and delectable foods.
The Blind Dog Café is the brainchild of Noah Karesh, Jonas Singer, and Cullen Gilchrist. They postulated that you can create a café that emphasized the beauty of of a well curated menu composed of simple, high-quality products from local vendors, and at the same time encapsulate all of the lean business values of running a small startup. The idea and these values all coalesced Blind Dog Café. They were able to run the shop through Darnell’s, a well-known local bar by utilizing the unused space adjacent to the bar area. Through this shared space they were able to create a low bearing entry into the restaurant market, avoiding common business hurdles like licensing and permits which have already been taken care of by the owners of Darnells. Noah Karesh commented on this innovative concept, saying that,
We loved the idea of taking an unused space, and activating it. Revitalizing it, doing something with it, because it also gives you the fluidity of being able to move quickly and more efficiently than other businesses. The idea is that it’s a trial, an experiment, the barriers to entry are very low so it won’t cost too much to do it.
Beyond their ingenuity of utilizing shared spaces to create a business, what really sets the Blind Dog Café apart from other places is their attentive curation of their menu and wares.
A good example to use is the breakfast I had there. When I get a scone and coffee at an establishment like Starbucks, it’s safe to say that the barista can’t tell me much about who made the scone or discuss the quality of beans used in their coffee. To say that a coffee and scone from an establishment like Starbucks is comprable to that of the meal I had at Blind Dog Café would be a flat-out insult to the people who tirelessly contributed to the high quality of the food. The scone I had at Blind Dog Café was made by a local vendor, Black Strap Bakery, and was accompanied by a fig and apricot jam that can only be described as divinely ambrosial to the senses.
The coffee I had to accompany this amazing morning treat was a coffee blend made from a high-quality roasting group out of Kansas called PT’s. The quality of the coffee was only matched by the care and attention the baristas of Blind Dog Café put into brewing it; utilizing a Chemex, a coffee brewing method that uses a high-grade filter to remove bitter oils usually found in coffee, I found myself enjoying one of the best-brewed black coffees I’ve had in quite some time.
The best part about Blind Dog Café is that the tantalizing morsel I had was but a small taste of the culinary talent they have to offer. Everything down to the pesto aioli in their Roast Beef Sandwich (a must-try if you come by there) is created in-house, and the brother and sister culinary team of Greer and Cullen Gilchrist can put together some amazing dishes that range from a baby mozzarella salad to some of the best chocolate cookies you’ll ever treat your taste buds to.
My brief yet amazing experience having what should have been a routine breakfast at a coffee shop was elevated into an experience that I will probably reflect on for the rest of my day. The beauty of this shop is that even though they were able to launch quickly, their mobility in business has never meant sacrifice in the amazing quality of their food. Blind Dog Cafe creates a seamless blend of selling high quality, local products with the lean-business practices of a startup, creating a business model that is both financially mobile and supports local businesses and entrepreneurs.
The best news is that they’re officially, so be sure to stop by the corner of Florida Avenue and W St. NW to have some amazing food and a cup of coffee that will be sure to leave an impression. If you want to learn more, feel free to follow them on their Facebook and Twitter.

You need to know their temperaments to smile at this photo. When Obby sleeps in The Chair, he fills it. So here he is making due with shared space. And JAXson is trying to block it all out. They make me smile.

MP36PH-3S #424 and F40C #611 share space at Chicago Union Station in this May 16, 2009 photo.
The F40Cs are unique to Metra. They were built in 1974, many years before the creation of Metra, for service on the Milwaukee Road commuter lines to Elgin and Fox Lake. Originally they were painted in a blue, white, and silver scheme, had Milwaukee Road logos, and were in that road's numbering scheme of #40-#54.
They were repainted into the Metra paint scheme circa 1986 and were renumbered #600-#614. They were withdrawn from service by 2004 and sold off. #611 and #614 were kept, however, and they were returned to service in 2009.
They are now stored at Western Avenue Yard.
Headed up to MINI of North Scottsdale yesterday for my annual car check-up. This was my first time at their new building (they had previously shared space with the BMW dealership around the corner). Love the quirky building - kind of reminds me of LEGOs. My Cooper is under the service area.

LJ59 LYS has just left Victoria Avenue, one of the main artery roads in to the city centre.
The New market area has become pretty "downmarket" nowadays. It's a place where crumbling buildings share space with migrant workers, bargain hunters, beggars and the sprinkling of backpackers.

An eight-year vacant Bradlees department store in Hazlet, New Jersey. Bradlees, a chain who began in New London, Conn., later based in Braintree, Mass. made its rounds all over the Northeast towards its half-life still makes its mark in the form of vacant husks -- mainly scattered over New Jersey. This one in Hazlet is one of a few in New Jersey still shadowing the late retailer, sharing space with bygone grocery store, Foodtown.
We wandered in and out of the primate house several times yesterday.
The White-handed Gibbons and the Sumatran Orangutans share space. They are not two species that would even run into each other in the wild,as the gibbons are from southeast Asia and China, and the orangatans are from Indonesia, but Mercury the male gibbon, and Sugi, the male orangutan have developed an unlikely friendship, and so many times both the gibbon and orangutan families share their playroom and outside yard peacefully.
I'm assuming that since Phoenice, the mother gibbon, has her new baby, they have decided to keep everyone separated for now.
When we wandered back later in the day, the gibbon family had gone back to their downstairs quarters and the orangutans were in the playroom.
Sugi, the father was plastered up against the door to the outside yard, looking rather out of sorts about being denied access. (Just a little too cold for these guys). Tua, the Mom was relaxing on an upper ledge, and little Batu was busy playing with the straw bedding and hanging in front of one of the large glass windows entertaining visitors.
She is your typical 4 year old toddler, and just so much fun to watch!
