Any word on who owns the property and if any plans are in the works? It's a small building with a large parking lot / drive-in and a billboard. Would love to see that redeveloped to a more urban use.

(and don't worry - Al's is moving a block away to the corner of Wells and Ohio, I think where Yu Choy chinese restaurant used to be.)

If you look at the High Rise thread you'll see I have more info on this as does someone else. The building was sold in February to new owners. Those new owners decided not to renew the lease with Al's because they decided to sign on a new lease for a Big Star (One Off Hospitality). Someone else responded to my info by saying a new building might be built there (1 story?) With a small patio in Big Star fashion..
