Is Oak Park on the road to economic recovery?
8 Replies

With all of the new restaurants, store-openings, remodels, etc., I wonder if we might be seeing some very early (although small) signs of economic recovery around the village. I still gasp at the def…

What's the new business going in next door to Paper Source on Lake Street???
18 Replies

I saw construction going on next door to Paper Source. There appear to be large windows (floor to ceiling) that could be opened in the summertime. Any chance we're getting a new restaurant/bar? Is th…

Appraisals are the bane of my existence right now (mortgage lender). However, don't put too much stock in them. Yes, it sucks if it kills your refinance, but appraisals for the most part are the opinion of one person and a person who is under a lot…

Sorry to hear about the apprasial. I'm going through the same refi process right now myself and I'm not optimistic about our chances either. Unfortunately, the market cycles don't care about our personal life cycles! This too shall pass though, it…

I think that the new stores/businesses opening up could potentially mark the rebirth of our downtown. I wrote a column for the Wednesday Journal about how I thought the old businesses closing could actually be a good thing because new businesses cou…

I think the economy is turning around in the sense that people and businesses aren't panicking anymore. Much of the economic malaise is self inflicted. What I do see is that as people realize the sky isn't falling they are spending more, however, I…
