Chicago weekend: "Almost Famous," pickles and Pullman

🍿 Ladies Who Lit: "Almost Famous" screening

• Is there anything cooler than watching the Cameron Crowe classic? Yes, watching it at a museum where you get an after-hours look at the exhibit about a cool L.A. artist and filmmaker.
• Plus! Free copies of Eve Babitz's "Too L.A.: Letters Never Sent (But Some Were)" are available to the next several ticket buyers.
• Pro tip: Axios readers get $5 off with the code: AXIOSREADER
• 6pm Friday at the Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art in Ukrainian Village.

🏛️ Pullman's Market Hall

• A visit to the historic South Side neighborhood is always worth it, but especially to check out the newly restored Market Hall.
• Friends of Pullman have been working to save the structure that was once a marketplace for the company town, the Sun-Times reports.

🥒 Pickle Fest

• Anything that promises "tons of tasty, pickley products" is where you can find me. Live bands, a cute mascot and cocktails and mocktails with that briny flavor are on the menu.
• 11am Saturday in Wrigleyville.

💭 Carrie's thought bubble: I'm ashamed (or proud?) to admit I haven't been to a Wrigleyville bar in more than a decade. Could pickles lure me back?
