Germania Club gets preliminary landmark status
Tenants not concerned by new landlord
Reilly said he's been approached by a several developers "to take my temperature on how I feel for the corner." Some of the ideas have called for high-rise residential complexes in place of Germania Club and Village Theater, which Reilly said he strictly opposes.

It's incomprehensible to me that the Village Theater and Michael's North restaurant site aren't considered some of the primest of prime high-intensity redevelopment sites. By all means, I support landmarking the Germania, which is in excellent shape and currently contributing to neighborhood vitality. But why on earth no development other than to appease the parking gods and anti-progress progressive smog-belching communists of Sandburg Village?
Guess I answered my own question. Thanks, Reilly.
