The food coop that leased the rehabbed Uptown Station 7 yrs ago aims to be open by the end of 2025. Researching the site for @WBEZreset I learned it has a "grandpappy" on the site. A previous station, designed by F L Wright, also had a grocery store. https://t.co/MtTvBQIFoy

In South Chicago, the former St Mary Magdalene Catholic Church has been re-purposed as the crisp, sunlit gym and cafeteria of a charter school. I loved what I saw there and talked about it on @WBEZreset today. https://t.co/WTP9qbD320
