re: Wrigleyville, do we know the configuration of retail? How many retail spaces there will be, and will there be a healthy mix of different sizes to accomodate different types of business? As long as the Clark Street frontage is primarily devoted to restaurants and bars and any other liquor-serving establishments, and all other uses (e.g. the potential big box) are accessed from Addison, then Clark should be able to retain it's vibrancy and Addison would get an upgrade from its current character of block-long-curb-cut-through-cracked-narrow-sidewalk.
The larger retail spaces are all on the 2nd level (access off Addison) with the spaces at ground level on Clark/Addison being in the 4,000-8,000 sq ft range to specifically appeal to bars and restaurants.
