It is a shame and also a sign of the times concerning Devon Avenue in Chicago. I am sure an Indian or Pakistani store will take over the space.<br /><br />Speaking from a Chicago area restaurant owner's perspective, Chicago is a tough crowd! It's really hard to maintain competitive prices to treif restaurants to attract the non-kosher crowds, and the kosher crowds just don't eat out that much on regular basis. <br /><br />Two restaurants have shut their doors in the last three months alone. More are sure to follow, as this recession makes a bad market worse.<br /><br />As an aside, my family and I will be in Israel in a few weeks. Can I email you with a few questions?<br /><br />Thanks!frumhousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02735783157413222489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-48637236945043174842010-05-26T21:23:42.724+03:002010-05-26T21:23:42.724+03:00Rosenblum's leaving is a major blow, but I tot...Rosenblum's leaving is a major blow, but I totally understand.
