They know how to do it over in Edgewater, one of Chicago's most vital neighborhoods. Unlike Rogers Park, its economically troubled neighbor immediately north, Edgewater has an alderman and private companies that readily and openly engage in promoting the neighborhood. Not afraid of progress, Edgewater is rapidly pulling itself up by its boot straps with exciting new restaurants, cafes, retailers and more. Meanwhile, Rogers Park to the north is mired in political shadows, local power struggles, and much alleged corruption.
Come see for yourself next week by joining the "Dinner Crawl" (details below). (This should be of particular interest to folks who live in the Occupied 49th Ward of Rogers Park, who have been repeatedly lied to by Alderman Joe Moore and DevCorp North about promises of revitalizing Morse Avenue and Howard Street.)
From the Edgewater Development Corporation's web site:
Fourteen local restaurants will be open for your enjoyment and many businesses will also join in on the fun. Taste the flavors, experience the theater, enjoy the shopping. Edgewater awaits you on Bryn Mawr & Broadway this June 26th.
Bryn Mawr, Edgewater's historic main street serves as the backdrop for this evening. Participating restaurants will offer samples from their menu for your dining enjoyment. You will also catch snippets of performing arts and great shopping destinations peppered amongst the food. It's a menu for a wonderful summer evening in historic Edgewater.
