Between Davanti, Three Aces, and Maple Leaf/Stax, and of course Mario's in the Summer, there is just a good feeling over there that I am getting, Davanti in fact is the first place that I bring out of towers and everyone loves Little Italy. I also hear that Flirty cupcakes is opening a shop across from Tuscany, really close to this proposed building. I would say this general area is really desirable. Its very close to the loop, the blue line, easy access to multiple expressways PLUS the whole foods, home depot, heck even Marshall's. Also, they have already started building the new Costco at Ashland just south of Roosevelt which is awesome. The possibilities are endless in this area since there is a lot of empty space. I can definitely see this becoming a hot area soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167519580792566980.post-51031088935443974832012-01-27T11:23:50.431-06:002012-01-27T11:23:50.431-06:00Ikea is cheap junk that poor people buy and try an...Ikea is cheap junk that poor people buy and try and pass off as West Elm or Crate and Barrel<br /><br />Truth Hurts, sorryamanda hugginkissnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167519580792566980.post-55315425659509189622012-01-27T11:03:55.226-06:002012-01-27T11:03:55.226-06:00Ikea... not gonna happen.
