New plans were announced today for the "pedway" that will connect the Block 37 mall to the Red and Blue Line Washington stops: Block 37 will be home to the area's only Beard Papa's (video)! Best! Beard Papa's is a Japanese chain of cream puff bakeries that has outposts all over the world; if you like vanilla-y pastries, you are going to plotz.
According to the site's developers, the walkway will also include an Au Bon Pain, a Dairy Queen/Orange Julius, a Freshii, and a Gateway News. But the big deal here is Beard Papa's. Bring on the cream puffs. Nom nom nom. [Crain's]

There was a Beard PaPa's by the place I worked in NYC. Those damn things are more addictive than crack. Ok, maybe not that addictive, but I started salivating just reading about Chicago getting one...
what is up with all the DQ/orange juliuses springing up? the first one i saw was on lincoln avenue just south of fullerton a bit. i haven't heard of an orange julius in the wild in about 20 years. there are people i talk about orange julius to and they don't even know what one is.
it's weird. not to mention for ages the only DQs there were were the secret underground DQ and the DQ on howard street (now there's the southport DQ and the DQ/julius hybrid i just mentioned).
strange dessert mumblings are afoot.
When will the walkway open? And how are they going to stop it from smelling like pee?
Nomnomnom!!!
That Beard PaPa's place looks awesome! I'm there. Also, that cartoon video was oddly charming and funny, and the children looked very adult-like. I liked when all the crumbs fell from people's mouths as they ate.
Oh My God. Beard Papa's is NOMNOMNOM at its finest I can't wait!
YES, ever since the one in Sawtelle, I've been craving for one in Chicago.
Finally, we're getting cream puffs and pinkberry-style places.
Can't wait for carne asada fries and Rubio's to come to town.
Beard Papa's are awesome. I was in San Francisco just yesterday and had a cream puff. I was there for a week and hit up Papa's often.
I love how in the video he is making cream puffs and smoking his pipe.
