Wouldn't mind at all if there were one here in Edgewater, though it would probably have a negative effect on my exercise routine (since it's a mile closer to me than the Ravenswood one is)!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-12821180041105074882014-04-24T13:55:38.641-05:002014-04-24T13:55:38.641-05:00That's true.

They lowered some of their prices and got rid of the Preferred card, but they still have a long way to go. Mariano's is so ahead of the game. Jewel really is like Sears, except people actually still shop at Jewel. The Sears on Lawrence (one of the original stores) is mostly a ghost town.Uptown Revivalisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07226460630727768548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-36333325327364427292014-04-23T17:51:15.574-05:002014-04-23T17:51:15.574-05:00Renovations are being planned for the Montrose Jew...Renovations are being planned for the Montrose Jewel.

But, they do need a wine bar, which I have been amazed at the Ravenswood location, how friendly people are, look to spark a conversation, and surprised me to be a great way to meet our neighbors. Would be great if Edgewater had the same!KenCondoPreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15485589614066828494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-9489720380657580272014-04-23T14:32:05.748-05:002014-04-23T14:32:05.748-05:00Bob Mariano was absolutely there, I was having a c...Bob Mariano was absolutely there, I was having a conversation with him and thanking him for acquiring this space. He was walking around, helping customers, and even bagging groceries! He'll probably be there today. At the Ravenswood location, I saw him for like the first week, especially the first weekend!KenCondoPreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15485589614066828494noreply@blogger.com
