Thanks for reporting on this. I live nearby and have been watching Howard starting to evolve. I know there are Evanston residents that oppose the use of Evanston tax revenue for another project like this, but I think this could be really good for the neighbirhood. Looking forward to hearing more.
ReplyDeleteThis is totes exciting! Howard needs businesses that attract people to the area. I diggin' the idea of a brew pub that uses organic grain mashes, too. Maybe they will.
ReplyDeleteHats off to Evanston and Alderman Rainey for their very proactive (with a plan) approach to business development along their side of Howard Street. I'm betting you won't see any fast food joints coming in as part of their plans!
ReplyDeleteAaaargh. Any place what serves up fine rum and good wenches be to my liking it be.
ReplyDeleteHats off to "mcl" for being the ants at the picnic.
ReplyDeleteHappy for Howard St and all, but gov-funded booze joints seem like a little overboard, even to this RP lefty.
ReplyDeleteGov-funded booze tastes just as good to me as the other stuff. I got no problem with it.
ReplyDeleteWell, it sure beats not having any at all.
ReplyDeleteI think Evanston is just makin' up for all the dry years of old when they was a dang dry city. Poor fools never knew the good bite of a nice gosh dang scotch.
ReplyDeleteYes Evanston is making up for lost time, they finally discovered the money to be made off of alcohol.
ReplyDeleteThe downtown is finally waking up too!
World of Beer just opened up downtown at Fountain Square and they are finally getting some decent restaurants.
