From the COVID-19 pandemic to the CTA construction, Edgewater has had a fair share of disruptions. Despite that, local businesses have been able to stay afloat, with some new businesses expected to pop up.
“Chicago Tonight” is hitting the streets to speak with your neighbors, local businesses, agencies and leaders.That’s certainly been true in Edgewater and Uptown as the CTA’s been working to rebuild century-old tracks and stations as part of its Red Line and Purple Line modernization project. And with that project kicking off just as the COVID-19 pandemic hit, the challenges have been felt even more acutely.
“Opening up in this gorgeous building on this cute little corner with all this light, I think, was only possible because of the opportunities presented because of all the vacancies,” Towns said. Towns said he knows of a couple other storefronts on Bryn Mawr that will soon be vacant. The street has had a challenging three years, between the Red and Purple Line construction and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Pfitzinger expects to see a couple new businesses crop up soon. Despite the upheaval of the construction, she credits the CTA with clear communication about what to expect and assistance promoting local businesses. “We were doing really well, growing,” Sigman said. “We had a really busy salon. 2008 came, and I had to think on my feet.”
With work on the northbound train tracks set to wrap up soon and new stations on the way, Sigman is hopeful about the new phase.
