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?

J. Crew and West Elm Still Rumored to come to Southport
The “When” is still up in the air. What are your thoughts? Would you welcome them to the ‘Port?

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.
