Last December
Curbed Chicago reported on a zoning application submitted for the
Chicago Joe's restaurant location at
2250-2256 W Irving Park Road. Joe's is to be torn down to develop a larger mixed use residential building. I am here to say that Chicago Joe's is as of yet still operational and I had the Reuben sandwich (with fries) last week. My contractor associate ALWAYS gets the blackened salmon.

A larger residential building would do well in this
North Center location. The property frontage on North Oakley would add value to those units. However, it's never a comfortable thing to see long standing neighborhood establishments go. It's a distinct building and business. I imagine some of us old schools will be lunching there until the the bulldozer shows up.
