Sonic Officially Opens

Ald. Cappleman, and the Wolken family, Sonic's franchisees

This morning Sonic officially opened in Uptown, with Grand Opening ceremonies, free t-shirts, and a line of customers waiting to get in at 11am.  It's the first urban design Sonic has ever done, catering more than usual to walk-up and dine-in customers, since 45% of Uptown residents are car-free and the Wilson el's just a block away.  There's a dining room, an outdoor patio, and a fireplace.  The free wi-fi didn't work very well for us, but there's time for them to get it right. Welcome, Sonic! Time for a Green Apple Slush....
