A Mexican American-Owned Bakery in Pilsen Gets Hit With Anti-Gentrification Graffiti - Eater Chicago

"Over the weekend, Bittersweet Pastry Shop & Cafe became a target in an ongoing debate about gentrification in the predominantly Mexican community of Pilsen. On Sunday, March 3, owner Esther Griego posted a series of photos on Instagram showing her business’s windows covered with graffiti with commentary like 'get out of Pilsen' and 'gentrifier.'" - Ashok Selvam
