“We’re at about 29% vacancy right now,” Ald. Brian Hopkins said. “We’ve been staying under 30%, but this announcement may be what puts us over, and there’s a psychological benchmark there. It’s a blow to the economy, a blow to Michigan Avenue, but it’s a very desirable location.”
“I think the city is finally feeling back to normal,” Dawn Toroker said. “I feel like we’re giving people lots of reasons to come downtown.”
Yeah, The Thug Mug Mile is collapsing due to crime and theft. Customers and employees don’t want to be assaulted, killed, mugged, car jacked, ect. ect. Business owners don’t like the Theft and slower volume.
Dawn’s surname may have been misspelled. Toker is a more apt rendition.

The Mug Mile is losing so many retailers even the muggers are choosing to go elsewhere.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
Weave & Wig shop? Fresh fish market? Harold’s Chicken Shak #124? Missionary Babtist storefront church? Nail Salon? Lots of options.
You forgot a Planned Parenthood abortion mill….
Talk about being stupid.
