Thanks Giving
Trader Joe's coming and South Loop thankful

The sorry story is that Trader Joe's wasn't here for this Thanksgiving. But apparently they will be right out my door next Thanksgiving--in the old Sam's store in the old Trailways Bus Company at Wabash and Roosevelt. This huge empty store has been depressing to see lately. So when I saw this morning on another South Loop blog that a business license had really been issued yesterday for Trader Joe's at 1147 S. Wabash, I knew happy days were definitely coming to the neighborhood.
Another thing to be thankful for today: here's a nice clip from WCIU-TV that centers on the culture, the landmarks, the art and the fun in the South Loop.
Have a happy Thanksgiving!

Huzzah for Trader Joe's! Great location with Jewel right across the street.

Excellent for you B. Trader Joe's has all those samples; free coffee; myriad shickers buying dozens of cheap-wine bottles all day long; chatty, eccentric cashiers, and good prices for Whole Foods-type stuff. I find it indispensable to good humor in the suburbs! Let's hope the coruscation extends to the South Loop...
