Forclosures in Edgewater/Andersonville

From Crain's Chicago Real Estate Daily:

U.S. Bank N.A. sued to collect two loans totaling about $3.3 million on three Chicago properties owned by members of the Benavides family, including a two-story building at 5705-07 N. Clark St., where popular Edgewater breakfast spot M. Henry is a tenant. Also in foreclosure is 5600 N. Ridge Ave., where the Benavides run taqueria restaurant El Norte; and 2227 N. Western Ave. in Logan Square. Minneapolis-based U.S. Bank inherited the loans from Park National Bank, which was shut down by regulators in 2009. The Benavides family did return a message requesting comment.

I've often wondered if they couldn't get more rent out of that building where El Norte is if they were to clean it up a bit. They are always very nice at the restaurant. That's where I get my chicken soup when I'm sick. Really sad news :(

They also "recycled" their chips. I've said it before 4 years ago. They separated the dirty dishes under the counter, right in eyeshot. The plates with leftover chips were separated from the rest. It was noticed. I never went there again.

I'm sure that's "cool" somehow or another in Edgewater though.

Wow, I've never seen one positive comment from No-D anywhere. Why? If you only spew negativity, that's all that the universe will give back

If we keep electing Harry, we will all be in the same boat. I will vote for Bersten next time.
