We are living in Utopia.
Everyone is talking about 9750.
No occupancy rate to date, why not?

As I mentioned in the blog I'll be following up on that.

Did he show where the Plaza Cafe moved to? How about Lang Lee?
I hope he, and the whole board, never get another good eggroll in his life.

Plaza Cafe owners moved to Oak Lawn. The restaurant is named Stacks, it is on 95'th street west of Cicero

You should try PF Chang's. Much better tasting than Lang Lee

The restaurant is called Stacked. They kept a lot of the Plaza Cafe menu and added new items. Lang Lee chose not to reopen.

Frank why don't you make some phone calls and find out?

I agree, Frank. If we, as OP taxpayers, are footing a $65 million bond sale-related bill for this hulking monstrosity, we deserve a complete airing of facts about our ROI. I, for one, think the municipality should not be in the business of landlord, especially since it never ASKED the taxpayers their opinions on the entire project from Day One. Bond sale referendums are not transparent; people assume the sale is in their best interests or they don't even read the details. What a shame! This is NOT Naperville. We do not have the same natural resources to pretend we can replicate the River Walk concept. His Majesty doesn't GET that difference... unless, of course, he plans next to dig an irrigation canal through Old Orland!

Karen,
Because I'm LAZY.
The Mayor paints a beautiful picture for our Village but neglects to let us know how the occupancy rate is going. He lets us know about the nice shops coming in but I also see the failure of similar commuter shops not doing well in surrounding locations in spite of well meaning fanfare.
Also, Mr Ben was going to look into it.

Then wait for his answer. You demand it as if Ben worked for you and he does not. There are polite ways of asking for information.

Actually, Karen, publications that depend on public perusal (read: unique hits. click-throughs and related ad revenue these days) for their livelihood are obligated to perform the due-diligence required to unearth the facts, whether that involves attending and reporting on a village hall meeting, sifting through the Daley Center archives to dig up legal records or filing FOIA requests. So, Frank is right. The Patch works for its readers. It is a job the media must perform for its readers. Remember the term, "Fourth Estate?"
