Small Business Saturday: Lake View Residents Share Their Favorites

In honor of Small Business Saturdays, Lake View Patch asked our Facebook followers to give their favorite local shops a shout-out, and we saw a great response.

"What are your favorite local businesses and why?" we asked. "If they have Facebook pages, tag them in the comments and say where they are!"

Between the East Lake View restaurants, Boystown bars and Wrigleyville hangouts, here's a list of the businesses getting some love. Is your favorite not mentioned in the comments we recieved? Give them a shout-out in the comment section below!
