Just a little public service announcement reminding folks about this Saturday's visioning workshop for 53rd Street. ( please email rsvp to: 53vision@hydeparkchicago.org ) For once, we have a community meeting with somewhat of a scientific methodology behind it (those electronic keypads), and put together by organizers who have made a real effort to turn out a real cross-section of Hyde Park-Kenwood residents.
It's a big time commitment, but one way to think about it is that with this meeting, you will have dispensed the equivalent labor of attending 4 or 5 less important ones. If you're going to put your time into any community meeting in the next little while, this is probably the one to invest in.
So come let your voice be heard, and tell the Man that you want more currency exchanges, dollar stores, curio shops, cell phone retailers, and third rate restaurants.

You forgot that we also want more bank outlets, transient campaign offices, and the ever-popular vacant storefronts!
Not quite on topic but, does anyone know when Jerry Kleiner's new restaurant might open?

And nail salons. One might posit a nation of shopkeepers as being a nation of thieves, but surely a plenitude of nail salons can only serve to discount this silly notion.
Still, nobody complains about the SJCs? That was some fine rental housing, at least along the north side. At this point, the structure would seem to contribute less population-density magic than the LDS, who at least supply a couple of dudes bicycling illegally on the sidewalk for part of the year.
(I was actually told at one point that the Art Werk Gallery was slated to become a walk-in ministry, but something else seems to have come up.)
