Touring the Southport Corridor – Fall, 2024

Nestled in the heart of Chicago’s North Side, the Southport Corridor is a vibrant, walkable district brimming with charm and character. Located primarily along Southport Avenue between Belmont Avenue to the south and Irving Park Road to the north, this bustling area has long been a favorite destination for locals and visitors alike. The corridor offers a blend of historic architecture, tree-lined streets, trendy shops, cafes, and lively restaurants, making it a perfect place to explore.

A Very Southport Corridor Christmas

It’s that time of year to dust off the ladders –  and hang the lights! A very Southport Corridor Christmas around the neighborhood this year. It’s great to see – especially after a long 20 months of the pandemic.

Not confirmed as of yet, but there have been some rumblings about Banana Republic coming to Southport – possibly in one of Mystic Celt or Indira/Newport Bar and Grill spaces. We know they had been looking to be on Southport since 2007 along with Club Monaco, so the rumor mill could become a reality.
