Kevin Nicholson+FollowLakeview rideshare struggles: Accessibility mattersFor many in Lakeview, getting an Uber is a quick convenience, but for Becca Shrier, it’s a daily challenge. Because of her disability, drivers often cancel or refuse to adjust their pickup spot—even when she’s clearly visible with her cane. She’s missed important appointments and social outings, all because the system isn’t set up to meet her needs. It’s a stark reminder that accessible transportation is still out of reach for many neighbors. Have you or someone you know faced similar issues with rideshares? What changes would actually make a difference? #Transportation #Lakeview #Accessibility00Share
Jason Wells+FollowChicago’s hidden omelet gem in LakeviewLocals know that the best omelet in Illinois isn’t found at a flashy brunch spot, but inside the cozy, unassuming Southport Grocery and Cafe in Lakeview. The Southern Omelet—packed with house sausage, white cheddar, and caramelized onions—has quietly built a cult following. Regulars line up in all weather, drawn by the cafe’s warm vibe and the promise of a breakfast that’s both comforting and extraordinary. Beyond the food, the spot doubles as a mini gourmet market, letting you take home a taste of the experience. What’s your go-to hidden breakfast spot in Chicago? #Food #ChicagoEats #Lakeview00Share
Stacie Hernandez+FollowLakeview’s Varsity Sports is closing soonLakeview runners are about to lose a neighborhood staple—Varsity Sports on Harrison Avenue is closing its doors this Friday. After just four years near City Park’s jogging paths, the shop is shutting down at the end of its lease. Locals can snag deals and discounts during their final two days, and of course, grab one last iconic winged-logo T-shirt. The Magazine Street, Old Mandeville, and Baton Rouge locations will stay open, but this is a big change for Lakeview’s running community. How will this affect your running routine or favorite gear stops? #Business #Lakeview #VarsitySports00Share
