Hyde Park Progress is a blog devoted to promoting reasonable economic improvement in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood. It is a forum for members of the community who want to end the artificial isolation of Hyde Park from the larger economy of the City. It calls for the improvement of neighborhood retail and commercial amenities, safety, and liveliness.

Forget it, Pop. It's Hyde Park Town.
Are they still causing problems? Last I heard they had settled their disagreements with Antheus and the renovation was going to go forward
I'm going on the latest report in the Trib. The whole thing is very closely guarded.
Ungar said he needs a zoning waiver to replace the planned, all-condominium development granted to a prior owner. Another outstanding detail — and perhaps the most contentious — is approval by residents of the adjoining property at 5490 South Shore Drive, who have voiced opposition over lack of parking for their units.
See the Tribune's spread of April 5, 2010.
It has to go through the approval process with the City over the coming months, which means it could get derailed by 5490 or Hairston at any point.
Why does it look like there was a fire on the 9th and 10th floor of 5490?
Hyde Park has always been a cliquish neighborhood. Unfortunately, another clique is coalescing around the likes of 5490, Vista Homes, and the St. Stephen's neighbors: "Blockit-or-Ssstoppit (BS)." They haven't failed yet.
Some of those people are always looking for a fight, should be a fun one to watch.
