3150 N. Southport & 3200 N. Southport developments will forever change the southern area of the Southport Corridor

Spring 2019 construction is in full bloom, and two developments are starting to show their skin at the corners of Belmont and Southport. 3150 N. Southport is quickly becoming a 4-story luxury condominium complex with Byline Bank as a first-floor tenant. 3200 N. Southport is an apartment transit oriented development (TOD) with 5 floors and ground level retail (yet announced).  Both buildings, along with the new Tied House from Schubas will greatly enhance the southern area of Chicago’s Southport Corridor, which runs all the way north to Irving Park Road. What do you think of the changes?

Rise Sushi closing July 7

It\’s last call for Sushi at the corner of Roscoe and Southport, as Rise Sushi will be closing for good on July 7, 2019.  Rise\’s building, along with Galleria Liquors will be demolished making way for an upcoming TOD development. The TOD building was announced all the way back in 2014, and while Galleria Liquors is slated to return to this site, Rise Sushi is not. Rise\’s sister restaurant, Shine at the corner of Webster and Halsted in Lincoln Park will remain, so if you can\’t live without Rise Spicy Tuna Rolls, Shine is a great option with virtually the same menu. We wish the owners and staff of Rise the best of luck, and will miss this Southport staple immensely.

A Judgmental Map of Lakeview

Our favorite map from The Black Sheep. Two Words: Toon\’s Bitch.

\”We’ve had about up to here with Lakeview, and we’ve decided enough is enough. All isn’t butterflies and rainbows (well, besides those rainbow signs in Boystown), and the people of Lakeview need to know the cold, hard truth about where they live. Without further ado, the judgmental map of Lakeview.\”
