I wish YIMBY would cover more suburban developments like this!
They cover the most significant stuff, I’d say. They have projects in Hammond, Michigan City, Oak Brook, northern cities, I think Joliet a couple of times, and others. We don’t have as exciting suburbs as some states/cities do.
It would be nice if there were better reporting on cities like Springfield, Peoria, Rockford, Kankakee, etc., but this wouldn’t be a website dedicated to Chicago anymore.
who cares its evanston
Wow, that is a huge upgrade from the Burger King that used to reside there! This will likely boost business for the Hilton Orrington next door, too.
