Logan Square is one of the 77 city-designated community areas as well as a smaller neighborhood located within that community area on the northwest side of the City of Chicago. The Logan Square neighborhood is centered on the public square that serves as its namesake. The community area and neighborhood are named for General John A. Logan who served in the Civil War, and later in Congress. Originally developed by early settlers in the 1830s, the community was annexed into the City of Chicago in 1889 and renamed Logan Square. Many of its early residents were English or Scandinavian origin, mostly Norwegians and Danes, along with both a significant Polish and Jewish population that followed. Today, the neighborhood is home to a diverse population including Latinos, a number of ethnicities from Eastern Europe, and African-Americans.

Celebrating fatherhood finds its origins in the Middle Ages, where a day devoted to honoring fathers was formally established by Catholic Europeans. Known as St. Joseph’s Day, it occurred yearly on March 19 and is still an active celebration throughout Europe today. In the U.S., Father’s Day was initially proposed as early as 1908 as a civic celebration. It wasn’t proclaimed as a national holiday for another fifty-eight years until 1966, and six years later, it became firmly established. Today, Father’s Day is celebrated annually on the third Sunday of June.

Hallmark began in 1910 when Joyce Clyde Hall started selling postcards. He had little money—not even enough to take a horse-drawn cab to his lodgings at the YMCA—but he had an entrepreneurial spirit and the determination of a pioneer. Hall quickly made a name for himself with the picture postcards he sold. Rollie Hall joined his brother in business, and the company was named Hall Brothers. On January 11, 1915, a fire destroyed their office and inventory. They took the only salvageable item, their safe, and set up shop again. With $17,000 in debt, they decided to press onward. As postcard sales declined, they recognized the public’s desire for more privacy in their communication, so they started offering high-quality Valentine’s Day and Christmas cards mailed in envelopes. The fateful fire resulted in the Hall brothers’ decision to buy printing presses and begin producing their own greeting cards in 1915. Hallmark eventually made the move to manufacture and sell collectable memorabilia including pin-back buttons, most of which revolve around holidays and other special events.

Saint Paul, along with its twin city, Minneapolis, straddles the banks of the Mississippi River and was home to the Hopewell, Dakota, and Ojibwe AmerIndian cultures for two thousand years before the arrival of Europeans. Saint Paul is currently known as the uptight city between the twins, but this has not always been the case. In fact, it was founded in 1838 by a bootlegger named Pierre "Pig's Eye" Parrant and named Pig's Eye (L'œil de cochon, in French). In 1849, the city's name changed to Saint Paul, in remembrance of Paul the Christian Apostle, and became the Minnesota Territory capital.  

Diverse ethnic groups, such as the Czech, French, German, Hmong, Italians, Jewish, Mexicans, Polish, Scandinavians, and Vietnamese, have made Saint Paul a mid-size a cosmopolitan center, which is celebrated each year with the Festival of Nations. Industries such as the railroad, wheat mills, higher education, and the state government have helped shaped the city's culture, as well as its economy.
