Moonshine to Close? Prasino opens

Busy summer around Division Street! Before this blog descends into another two-month silence, we thought we'd better update. With an interesting rumor, to boot.


A tipster informed us that Moonshine, Division Street's own "urban roadhouse" and brewery, might be closing soon. They write:


"Moonshine is closing and owes several million in back taxes. One of their cooks came into [another Division Street restaurant] looking for a job and told everyone that he just got laid off, then told us about the taxes."
 
A staffer at the restaurant said the claim was "absolutely untrue" and the restaurant remains open currently. Guess we'll see what happens!

In other news, its nearby neighbor Prasino opened Friday with a 100-seat patio that includes some pretty sleek looking furniture. This seems like the perfect time of year to check out the new contemporary American spot.

Pulaski Swimming Pool Opens Today

One of the cons of living on Division Street is that it's a bit too far to take a quick trip to the lake, so many of us take to sunbathing in Wicker Park. But if you're looking for some water, today marks the opening of the Pulaski swimming pool, just north of Division Street on Blackhawk. The Olympic-sized swimming pool is open until Labor Day and entry is free to Chicago residents. There's also a kiddie pool and playground for the youngins.


For the most part, you'll be able to access the pool 1 p.m.-4:45 p.m. and 6 p.m.-7:15, but call ahead to confirm as the schedule is subject to change.
