What other questions and suggestions do you have about this project?

Trader Joe’s! It’s more affordable than other big chain grocery stores and there isn’t one nearby. The closest one is all the way in the South Loop or in Lincoln Park or Oak Park. (In addition to a locally... Read more...

Trader Joe's is also known for its racist branding. I'd rather see a space where different vendors and farmers can sell fresh and home-made goods than a franchise place so far disconnected from GP.

Black and brown-owned local small businesses. Grocery stores, produce markets, and plant/herb shops that encourage sustainability. Art businesses that support local artists. Locally-owned coffee shops... Read more...

Maybe we could be trusted to have liquor stores and beauty supply shops just like White neighborhoods if the same amount of investment occurred in Garfield Park, too.
