There's not much in the way of a "Less than 5 dollar option" now, with the exception of a slice of Gigios Pizza.

Do we think etta is going to be open until 4 am to serve nugs to frat boys coming home from the Keg? Or Nevins? Or Prairie Moon? Or 1800 club?

Durty Nellie’s Seeks Redevelopment of its Property at 180-190 N. Smith Street, Palatine
https://durtynellies.com/updates/ I didn’t notice this when it was posted in April. Looks like this is moving forward. I’m sad that we’re losing a great music place, but I see their point that they’re having trouble booking the space. And this is TOD, literally across the street from the Metra station. Hasn’t been anything new built in Palatine since 2006. |
What the heck is happening in Mundelein? Just happened to drive through, and there are three large projects near the Metra station. Construction in every direction.
To the north, just south of 176, straddling the tracks is a townhouse / rowhouse development. Morris Station. https://www.morrisstation.com/ To the east, on Hawley next to the post office is a 4 story building. Across the street is a retail/office complex that looks like the paint is still drying. South of village hall is Station 250, a large apartment complex along the tracks, right at the station. https://station250.com/ |
‘Catalyst’ to redevelopment: Apartments, retail coming to Arlington Heights south gateway

See the article for renderings and more details. This isn't TOD, unless you count I-90. Metra is a few miles north. But this is a big change for the area. |
Yep. Also the old Daily Herald building is being renovated. It's a neat piece of 80s California-style office architecture dropped into Illinois, and a landmark off the tollway...

This suburban high-rise in Oak Brook is still plodding along in earnest as it appears some revetment has been put in place along with an upgraded culvert for drainage into the nearby Salt Creek, but no clear sign of construction other than that, and the pushing dirt around the site. . .

should the new Ryan field have its own page?

Oh man, a sight for sore eyes. I grew up just north of dyche stadium in the 100 block of 5th Street in Wilmette.
My favorite dyche stadium memory: I was about 10 years old and me and some other friends were riding our bikes in the parking lot of the stadium when one of my friends noticed that a gate across one of the stadium entrances was left unlocked. We totally busted in and had way too much fun riding our bikes up and down the stadium ramps. We frequently went back hoping to find another unlocked gate, but it was only a one time event. |
Agreed Steely. I have fond memories of going as a wee lad to a mostly empty Dyche stadium in the mid-80s, watching Northwestern getting crushed by the likes of Ohio State or Iowa or pretty much anyone they played.
Even back then, though, I always admired the sweep of the stadium seating, open end zone, and arch supports on the outside of the stadium. I always thought it was one of the more underrated stadiums in college football, though maybe it's just my nostalgic biases. |
Article about Michigan City's growth and new renderings of a planned highrise. I did some searching and apparently they implemented a form-based zoning overlay around the core of the city, with height minimums and no maximums in certain areas (here and here). With travel times to Millennium Station dropping to an hour, and even less once MED is upgraded to 90 MPH, I can see why the area is now a lot more attractive to developers. If Goodman is serious about replicating the growth of Fulton Market, it's possible Michigan City could become our version of Jersey City
Why the man who helped remake Fulton Market is betting big on Michigan City Quote:
