It's Apparently Permit Season in the Sloop: Giordano's, Bureau Bar and Urban Pantry Build-outs

We hear rumors all the time, but when you see these pinkish-orangey permits it's past the rumor stage.  With that said, here are a couple noteworthy permits people have sent us:

First off it appears that it is true -- Giordano's looks to be coming to the old courthouse at 1340 S. Michigan.  You may recall that there was some debate on whether it was 1340 or further south from our previous post:

Second is Bureau Bar at the former Three Peas Art Lounge space at 75 E. 16th Street.  As you may remember from earlier posts they applied for a liquor license and some neighbors weren't happy.  Regardless, it looks like the concept is moving forward and judging by the interior (seen by us peaking in) it looks like it's a small cozy place we're going to love:

Third, Urban Pantry is opening up a second location at 8 E. 9th St.  The first Urban Pantry opened up in 2011 and is doing a great job servicing Printers Row and Clark street:
