“There’s nothing wrong with this block. It’s a great place to do business. We’ve been here since 1984. We have a list of about 2,500 patients. People move out of the neighborhood but they remain our patients. We don’t think it’s blighted at all.”
– David Smarinsky, owner and operator of The Dental Corner, 4857 N Western Ave, quoted in this week’s Chicago Reader. The city plans to use eminent domain to reserve the right to buy all the property on the east side of Western Avenue from Lawrence to Ainslie, setting it aside for future redevelopment.
