Plans have been revealed for the redevelopment of the former Inn at Lincoln Park, located at 601 W Diversey Parkway in Lincoln Park.

Renovation and expansion work on what was once the Happy Village bar is progressing well on Wolcott Avenue in the East Village neighborhood of West Town.

Now, lot where the demolished single-story portion of the bar used to sit has been improved with a two-story building that stretches to the rear of the construction site.
