Talk:Chicago/Pilsen

Dropped listings
I saw this place while I was in the area but didn't go in, and couldn't even find a phone number for it, so I haven't included it in the guide. (WT-en) Gorilla Jones 02:01, 16 November 2007 (EST)



Closed, I believe. (WT-en) Gorilla Jones 20:09, 25 June 2008 (EDT)



Bombon Cafe was destroyed in a fire last night, sad to say. Check in a few months - hopefully they'll re-open. (WT-en) Gorilla Jones 08:20, 12 August 2008 (EDT)



Read about a wave of closures in East Pilsen recently. 4Art is a huge loss. EXPGallery may be closed, too &mdash; website is down and I didn't get an answer at their phone number. (WT-en) Gorilla Jones 13:10, 15 August 2009 (EDT)








 * Whence this decimation? --(WT-en) Peter Talk 13:15, 15 August 2009 (EDT)


 * People waiting for foot traffic that hasn't materialized, it seems. Story here. (WT-en) Gorilla Jones 13:19, 15 August 2009 (EDT)



Yet another really interesting place bites the dust... --(WT-en) Peter Talk 12:57, 6 August 2010 (EDT)

Not sure if they're still open. Website is defunct and last shows were in September. Gorilla Jones (talk) 20:19, 10 March 2013 (UTC)



Couldn't get through to this place. Gorilla Jones (talk) 20:41, 10 March 2013 (UTC)



Efebos
Is it worth it to list Efebos twice, in the drink & contact sections? If not, in which section should we include it? --(WT-en) Peter Talk 16:35, 29 July 2008 (EDT)
 * Good point - I put it in 'Drink' with a general pointer in Contact. (WT-en) Gorilla Jones 20:51, 29 July 2008 (EDT)

Star nomination
We don't have any star articles on the West Side of Chicago, only North and South, so I'd like to put this one up for consideration. Pilsen is off the beaten path for most travel guides, but it has an attraction that should be high on any visitors' list (National Museum of Mexican Art), and I think we've covered the art galleries, the shops, and the restaurants quite thoroughly. I had a lot of fun there, although Peter's map will make anyone else's visit a lot easier than mine was. Your comments, please... (WT-en) Gorilla Jones 18:17, 14 December 2007 (EST)
 * Another beautiful Chicago article! You guys have raised the bar for what Wikivoyage guides can become. Now just a couple of things (and I was more careful this time around): I didn't see hours for El Paraiso Bakery, and no prices for El Paraiso Bakery, Panaderia Tortilleria Nuevo Leon Bakery, Tacos Palas, and Cafe Mestizo (the last one might not be a problem as it's down in the drink section, but the other two cafes have prices so I guess Cafe Mestizo might as well...). Other than that, this guide is the absolute definition of perfection. (WT-en) PerryPlanet 20:19, 14 December 2007 (EST)


 * Support. One of the smaller districts in the Chicago guide, and I think we honestly have everything worth covering in the article! I added pricing info for the above mentioned listings, except for El Paraiso Bakery&mdash;I think it's too hard to give an accurate idea of price since there is bound to be large variations in the kinds of things one would buy at a bakery (a cake? one cookie?). Not that this bears on star status, but Pilsen is a cool neighborhood. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 22:11, 14 December 2007 (EST)
