"Logan Square: Paladar Cuban Restaurant and Rum Bar, a nine-year-old restaurant, won’t reopen due to fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic. Owner Jose Gonzalez shut down the restaurant at the end of October as the pandemic’s second wave hit Chicago and now lacks the resources to reopen. “We tried to survive but COVID and regulations got the best of us,” he writes in a Facebook post." - Naomi Waxman
