Five Guys Replacing Old Dilapidated Eyesore?

1150 S. Wabash (the dilapidated building just North of Bongo Room) is old and run down. Yes, it's been home to some interesting street art (see post from July 8th), but most in the neighborhood agree that the building is an eyesore.

Back in May, we received an email, with floor plans, for a new building that would replace the current structure. We haven't heard much about that until we recently read a note in our comment section about a Five Guys coming to the space (via Everyblock.com). We didn't think much about it, but recently we saw construction fencing put up around the building.


We're not sure if a Five Guy's, which is a famous burger restaurant, is coming to this space, but it seems like something is happening here.



Although we will miss the street art canvas, we welcome any new improvements to this area.
