"Nor is it a bet, by Whole Foods, on neighborhood change."
Although, if the neighborhood did happen to gentrify, as has been the goal of the Emanuel administration for Chicago as a whole, that would be a happy coincidence.
- johnloeber 12y agoNormally, gentrification is a slow creep that happens on a block-by-block basis. This does not apply to Englewood. The Whole Foods is being built essentially in the heart of urban poverty in Chicago.
