You may not realize it, but the western section of the Logan Square neighborhood was once dominated by industrial use. This makes a ton of sense if you think about it, as the proximity to both rail lines and the river would have made this area very attractive to manufacturers

The last time we visited the 2400 block of Frankford Avenue was about half a year ago, when we told you about three new buildings on the block. The most unique of those new buildings is now getting a new neighbor, or at the very least there's a new hole
