More good news for the big box retail scene in the Sloop, it was just announced that Dick's Sporting Goods announced signed a lease at the Maxwell (Canal and Taylor - via Crain's):
Dick’s Sporting Goods Inc. has signed a lease at a proposed South Loop shopping center, a deal that would give the retailer its first store in the city.

The suburban Pittsburgh-based sporting goods merchant plans to occupy a 61,000-square-foot second-floor space at the Maxwell, said Rob Bond, president of Chicago-based Bond Cos., which is developing the 230,000-square-foot mall at Canal Street and Roosevelt Road. He declined to discuss terms of the deal.
Dick's joins Nordstrom Rack as the first two announced tenants for the shopping complex.

Please note, it says "proposed" development. Just like the RC announced "proposed" retail tenant openings for 2008.

Dicks will thrive in that location. Not an accident they chose that for there first location in the city. South Loop and UIC campus along with being across the street from a major gym. Where else are you gonna get athletic apparel and equipment around here? Target?
