"Wicker Park’s death as an edgy and affordable neighborhood was announced with the closure of Leo’s Lunchroom, a welcoming restaurant with exceptional breakfast fare. The customers really came from a variety of walks of life; at the end of its life, the backroom was covered with promo material from Hoop Dreams, the exceptional documentary about Chicago high school basketball. Leo’s was around for more than four decades, one of the only restaurants along Division Street, a far cry from the new construction that dominates west of Ashland. Leo’s was a place to center yourself, to grab a great meal to get the morning to a tremendous start. Nothing has filled the void since it closed in 2005." - Naomi Waxman, Ashok Selvam
