What Chicago is talking about this week:
In the midst of mourning the passing of Maggie Daley (it's still a tragic loss although it was somewhat expected as the family moved up a planned New Year's Eve wedding so that she could attend a few weeks ago -- our thought and prayers are with the Daley family) ... my 'hood just learned of a sneak attack Walmart Express opening this week!
Another planned store eight blocks away is tied up in protests (not everyone wants the "big box" stores in the neighborhoods) and real estate issues ... but surprise ... surprise ... another one at Broadway and Addison flew under the radar and will be open on Wed 11/30. Which means I can now, by virtue of a 15 minute walk, amble to three different Jewel-Oscos, a Whole Foods, a SuperTarget, a Walmart Express, at least two Walgreens, two CVSs, two Starbucks, and about a half dozen 7-11s.
Now if only this plethora of properties to procure provisions would result in some pricing provocations, I'd be pleased as punch at the proliferation of all of these purchasing places. (Who doesn't like a little alliteration on a rainy Sunday?)
