Lots of activity. Lots of "sprucing" up.

Now storefront is painted a vibrant lime green...

What's going in?

It is going to be a cake shop. The owner, who has a sister in GE, specializes in cheese cake.

I wish, Scotty. Smile

I've noticed a lot of sprucing up around town. There's a big brick building on the northside of Pennsylvania that is looking good. It had it's windows replaced just a bit ago. Anyone know anything about that?

That was originally built as The Phone Company, 'way back when.

In recent years it was owned by Carl Kuhn, the retired lawyer who was killed in Bartlett a month o so ago.

Until a few years ago, the Chamber and EDC offices were in there, but their leases were not renewed because a developer had plans for a major renovation (teardown and new build, as I recall.)

I suspect that — because of the times — the current work is simply a minor rehab to make the property rentable for office space. The interior had become pretty rundown and sad. —Ted E.

Not minor....unless we are talking about GE Fan money....then it qualifies as minor.


What part of "no" don't you understand?

Didn't know it had opened; was there some kind of announcement or sign? I definitely want to try it out, though.

She seems to have been open for a week. Not even sure what she is selling...other than cheesecake.

Can't imagine she ain't got other stuff in there.

That story about Carl Kuhn is sad, may he rest in peace.

Clam, I'm with you on that not needing close access to cheesecake....that's highly dangerous. I'm hoping it's way out of my price range, lol.


Should I give up, or should I just keep chasing pavements....even if it leads nowhere - Adele

I went right after they opened. I had a cream puff and it was delicious. Cute place and I understand her cheesecakes are "to die for."

Someone was posting a while back about the fancy shmancy cupcake places in the Chicago area...maybe this is the same person.

I'm not sure about their hours. If they want to be an after movie destination, they need later hours, IMO:

Tuesday - Thursday 10:00 - 6:00
Friday 10:00 - 7:00
Saturday 9:00 - 7:00
Sunday 12:00 - 4:00
Monday Closed



It's the spending, Stupid!
