Bloomingdale Trotters Should Beware of Wolves, Not Foxes, Along the 606
Sure, the surrounding neighborhoods — Wicker Park, Bucktown, Humboldt Park, and Logan Square — have plenty of food options — but what if one is in a hurry? Enter Wolf & Company, an all-day cafe and market from the owners of Gretel and Little Bad Wolf. It's the first restaurant to have a patio built off the trail.
Taking cues from another market with a furry mascot, Wolf & Company is a boutique grocer full of fancy snacks and pantry items. There's even a butcher's counter for impromptu backyard barbecues.
This is a two-floor affair at 1752 N. Western Avenue, with the second floor leading to the 606. On the upper level, customers will find the caffeine with coffee from Hexe and Big Shoulders, and teas from Rare Tea Cellar and Rishi. Pastries are made on premise,s and they'll also serve a few light breakfast items. The second floor houses a 20-seat bar.
The ground floor is home to the full-service restaurant and market. There's pizza to be had, and ownership describes it as a cross between Neopolitan and New Haven-style. While they'll offer American staples like pepperoni and sausage, the pizza will get a little fancy. Chef Graham Akroyd, the culinary director at the ownership's other restaurants, is behind the menu. That means it shouldn't be a surprise to find a burger available with up to three patties. Gretel and Little Bad Wolf are known for their burgers.
There's also a deli component downstairs, which will also serve grab-and-go options.
Check out the photos below.
Wolf & Company , 1752 N. Western Avenue, coffee shop open daily from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. for breakfast and lunch; market open 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.; restaurant and bar open daily from 11 a.m. to midnight on Sunday through Thursday; 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. on Friday and Saturday.

DevvStream Completes $10M Initial Funding to Launch $300M Asset-Backed Digital Infrastructure and Sustainability Strategy
CALGARY, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)--DevvStream Corp. (Nasdaq: DEVS) (' DevvStream ' or the ' Company '), a leading carbon management firm specializing in the development, investment, and sale of environmental assets, today announced that it has entered into a securities purchase agreement for the issuance of up to (US)$300 million in senior secured convertible notes (' Senior Notes '), advancing its strategic initiative to build a blockchain-based treasury and launch a tokenization platform for sustainability-linked infrastructure. The securities purchase agreement provides for the issuance of up to (US)$300 million in Senior Notes with Helena Partners, which issuances will be funded in multiple tranches. An initial funding of (US)$10 million was completed on July 18, 2025. Key Highlights: Under the agreement, DevvStream will allocate 75% of the net proceeds (70% of the initial tranche) toward the purchase of liquid digital assets that offer 24/7 liquidity, serve as non-correlated stores of value, and may be used as collateral for future credit facilities. This program complements DevvStream's core business of developing, acquiring, and monetizing environmental assets in coordination with its objective to expand investor access to tokenized sustainability infrastructure. The Company is also actively exploring the tokenization of its existing environmental asset portfolio and anticipates further announcements as its platform scales. Additionally, the strategy is expected to provide opportunities to generate multiple revenue streams, including staking yields, while reducing reliance on equity financing through crypto-backed credit options. The notes may be converted by the holder into the Company's Common Shares at an initial conversion price equal to 200% of the closing price of the Company's Common Shares on the trading day immediately prior to the closing date, subject to potential downward adjustment as provided for in the notes. 'This $300 million facility allows us to improve capital efficiency, reduce dilution, and bring global investors into the carbon ecosystem through a digital gateway,' Sunny Trinh, CEO of DevvStream, stated. 'The combination of crypto reserves and real-world asset tokenization represents the next evolution of our capital strategy.' Cohen & Company Capital Markets, a division of Cohen & Company Securities, LLC, is serving as placement agent to DevvStream.

Polymarket to return to U.S. after acquisition
Polymarket is poised to legally return to the U.S. as prediction markets become an increasingly popular place for Americans to chase riches based on future outcomes. Why it matters: Polymarket has technically been blocked for Americans, but an unknown number of users have found ways to use the platform. Driving the news: The crypto-based events market announced Monday that it expects to provide trading access to Americans after acquiring derivatives exchange QCX for $112 million. QCX comes with a coveted license from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), allowing it to legally provide markets in the U.S. "The transaction marks a significant step toward expanding access to Polymarket's category-defining platform in the United States, enabling more users than ever to trade prediction market contracts with regulatory clarity and confidence," Polymarket said in a statement. The big picture: Polymarket's popularity surged in 2024 as a place for traders to bet on the U.S. presidential election and other campaigns, but it hasn't been allowed to operate here for several years. One of its biggest competitors, Kalshi, is CFTC regulated and is legal for American users, though it's facing a legal battle over its right to offer sports event contracts. Context: Polymarket received notice this month that the DOJ and CFTC "had both closed their investigations" into the company after "examining if Polymarket continued to allow US-based traders onto its platform despite a 2022 settlement with the CFTC in which it promised to block them because it wasn't registered," Bloomberg reported. What they're saying: "Now, with the acquisition of QCEX, we are laying the foundation to bring Polymarket home — re-entering the US as a fully regulated and compliant platform that will allow Americans to trade their opinions," Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan said Monday in a statement.

AAC rebrands as American Conference in move designed to fuel growth in changing college landscape
Associated Press The American Athletic Conference is rebranding itself as, simply, the American Conference as part of a wide-ranging effort it says is designed to fuel growth and elevate its position in a quickly changing college-sports landscape. The 15-team football conference also on Monday unveiled a new slogan — 'Built To Rise' — and introduced Soar the Eagle as a new mascot. Both will be featured in promotions and public service announcements that air during games involving its teams. By changing names, the conference will get rid of the 'AAC' nickname that often got confused with the Power Four's ACC — Atlantic Coast Conference. It wants to be known as the 'American Conference,' or the 'American.' American's commissioner, Tim Pernetti, has been aggressive about positioning the conference in the name, image and likeness era, announcing earlier this year that all members except Army and Navy would be required to revenue share at least $10 million over the next three seasons; it was the first league to set such a minimum standard. Under the new NIL rules, schools are allowed to share up to $20.5 million in revenue in the 2025-26 season. 'This modernization is rooted in who we are and where we're headed,' Pernetti said. "It prioritizes clarity, momentum, and the competitive advantage driving every part of our conference forward.' These are fraught days for the Group of Five conferences, which includes the American, and whose teams have been constant targets in an era of realignment. Since 2023, the American has lost Cincinnati, UCF and SMU but has added seven teams: Charlotte, FAU, North Texas, Rice, UAB, UT-San Antonio and Army (for football). It now has 15 teams. Army and Tulane stayed on the fringe of the race for a spot in the College Football Playoff race last season. ___ AP college sports: recommended Item 1 of 3
