This up-and-coming area is in a state of evolution with new shops, bars, restaurants, and housing popping up every day. Historically a gritty, industrial area of the city it gets it's name either from the lumber mills that once dominated the industrial area and sold slabs of log edges, cut to square logs, as a cheap source of fuel to laborers.

AMAZING breakfasts. The vegan breakfast burrito and breakfast sandwich are too good to be true. The coffee is great. During non-covid times there's enough room to spread out and stay awhile. During Covid times take your food and coffee to go and grab a spot at the tables by the food carts.
