In 1979, a sign was placed here, highlighting the geographic center of Chicago, and that used to be accurate. However, this location at 37th and Honore is based on an 1896 Chicago Tribune article, and since then, the actual geographic center shifted. In March 1956, when Chicago annexed the land at and around O’Hare Airport, the city’s border expanded outward, moving the midpoint northwest. The actual location rests just south of 31st and Western in the water of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Cana

Is this going to be like Chicago’s version of the magic castle? Or is this Logan trying to lure us into a secret society at Yale? Idk, but when I first heard that a magic space was coming to River North, my elder emo self that grew up on Practical Magic, The Craft, and Charmed was intrigued. It opens soon and I can’t wait to hear more about it! @The Hand & The Eye is going to be opening at the former Lawry’s space at 📍100 E. Ontario #magic #magician #chicago #rivernorth #magical
