The future of Lake Shore Drive
What’s the answer to Lake Shore Drive congestion? Ron Burke of the Active Transportation Alliance in Chicago says it’s definitely not more cars. Instead, he suggests a dedicated right-of-way for public transportation and other forward-looking solutions. Read his op-ed in Crain’s.

Vineyard Vines coming to Michigan Avenue
Southport Corridor News and Events reports that Michigan Avenue will be getting a Vineyard Vines store this fall. While we have no official opening date at this time, the store listing on the brand’s web site confirmed the new location, as well as its address: 540 N Michigan Ave.
Contrary to its name, which conjure images of walls upon walls on wine bottles, this is indeed a clothing brand. Fans of Vineyard Vines would likely describe the merch as “preppy” or “the kind of stuff you’d wear to a country club.”
How do you feel about this decidedly East Coast-y brand coming to Michigan Ave.? Do you think it’ll fare well in the Midwest?

Lakeview Named Nation’s 3rd Best Big-City Neighborhood by CNN Money
What do you like best about living in Lake View? We think it’s Southport, but we’re a bit biased 🙂
From CNN-Money: Median household income: $77,500
Median home value: $345,000
Typical 2-bedroom rental: $1,800
Pros: If any ‘hood is all things to all people, it’s Lakeview. Ask residents what they like best, and some will tell you about the show they saw in the Belmont Theater District. Others will talk about the parks, golf course, and easy access to Lake Michigan. Then there are those who point to Wrigley Field or the Boystown district, Chicago’s largest gay and lesbian community.And it’s all just five miles north of the downtown Loop, with affordable homes and easy access to the L.
Cons: Relative to real estate prices, rents are high. Some areas can get crowded (think Wrigleyville on game day). –S.M.
