Lillstreet at Ravenswood -- 10th Anniversary

Lillstreet loves Ravenswood. We want to write it all over our notebooks and scratch our devotion into nearby park benches and trees.
August 2013 marks the 10th year in our current Ravenswood location, and we couldn't be happier about choosing to spend the past decade in this cheerful and inspiring neighborhood. To commemorate this anniversary, we're hosting a weekend of festivities in August. Come celebrate with us!
