This Sloop chat reminds me to ask if anyone knows what's going on at the formerly derelict small building on Clark just south of the ArtCraft/Scientology building, directly across from the rapidly rising new high rise at 717.
We chatted when the facade was abruptly torn off, and then it was completely boarded up for awhile. The boarding is still there, but what has risen behind the boards is a split facade, with two completely different treatments, two colors of brick and with different elevations. I guess it will be two storefronts, but it sort of looks like a bad attempt to imitate the newer Portillos where the exterior has like 50 kinds of treatment. Perhaps they'll open TWO pizza places, we need more.
