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

A structure that used to house what is now the Wilson Red Line stop could soon be a grocery store owned and operated by customers.
