It pains me to say it, but I sort of have to side with the "anti" crowd here. The neighborhood is definitely right for a TJ's, but Honore isn't a great street to host a supermarket worth of traffic. This would be fantastic on Ashland or Western (especially by the division blue line stop with a few floors of residential above it).

My worry is that TJ's comes in and Division snarls up like North has. The streets were just not designed to be major car-focused high-traffic streets.
So your idea of urbanity is driving to get groceries and then also forcing everyone else to drive because you wouldn't allow grocery stores to locate in a walkable location? Right. That's just super.
