In spite of yesterday's ruling that stripped control of the beleaguered Block 37 project from its developer, the project will see the first store opening today after the city gave the project the green light, according to Crain's. Today will see the opening the opening of both the pedway and the Steve Madden store. A spokeswoman for the developer, Joseph Freed & Associates, LLC, said they expect two additional stores - Zara and Puma - to open early next week and several more will follow suit by Thanksgiving.
Both Crain's and the Tribune have good detailed accounts of the latest goings-on with the project, including analysis of yesterday's ruling.



Yeah, because that's what Chicago needs, another store selling $250 shoes. I give it 18 months, tops, before they are out of there.
Does that mean the pedway between the Blue and Red line stations is open too? I hope so!
