Nostalgia: Urbis Orbis and the "Third Place."
Remember Urbis Orbis? The seminal Wicker Park coffeeshop and "third place" closed a little over a decade ago, but you can revisit it and its colorful staff and clientele through this short documentary just posted on YouTube.
(Thanks, Anna!)

I logged a lot of time at Urbis the last year it was open. I did a series of paintings there, spent a good amount of time talking to Joe, and got the shakes from over-caffeinating most every day...Thanks for this!
