Not cool- wish like hell it were true, though. As it happens, there is a Trader Joe’s and Aldi’s in the same building together on Clybourn, which made me turn 90 shades of green in envy. I then thought of the battle Aldi’s had to fight with 49th Ward Aldercritter Joe Moore to get permission to open up in their present location at Granville & Broadway. Well, just look at that building, and that huge empty retail space in it. Was Aldi’s original intention to open a Trader Joe’s (Aldi owns Trader Joe) side by side Aldi’s in that building? It looks to me like that could have been the original idea, since that big corner space in the Granville is too big for anything else, and continues to sit vacant while Walgreen’s builds a new building down the block. Is this corner now in the 48th Ward since the remapping, or what? If it is, Osterman should court Aldi and see if he can persuade the concern to open a Trader Joe’s there.

This should really be taken down. It’s not funny, and people can still read the headline (without the disclaimer). This is the way rumors get started.

At first I didn’t get how this made sense as an ‘April Fool’s’ but now it’s crystal clear. This obsession with Trader Joe’s is scary. Its an average store at best. In a neighborhood full of great independent businesses, its almost sad how people are salivating over a place known for $2 bottles of wine.

You knows there had been a strong hope in the community that this would happen. They sure pay better than Jewel or Dominick’s. not good form.

This is a disgusting piece of bad journalism. It is sad to think the Edgeville thinks Edgewater is such a bad neighborhood that Trader Joes would never consider opening here. Advertisers stop supporting Edgeville. Consumers, boycott the businesses who advertise on it.

Satire and humor are supposed to be satirical and funny.
