From the Chicago Tribune:
In the center of Logan Square, artists eat tofu scrambles, joggers wear iPod nanos and pet walkers escort small dogs past million-dollar homes.
About a mile west in the same neighborhood, few were outside on a recent rainy morning, save the family and friends visiting the makeshift memorial for Leonardo Otero, a 15-year-old gunned down Monday.
Like other Chicago neighborhoods, Logan Square is a complex place that changes character block by block. Here, conflicting forces of gentrification and seemingly intractable crime have made Logan Square a place with two identities: a hot neighorhood and a crime hotspot.
