Viva, wouldn't the argument be that the south side of Division, which includes Seward Park and supposedly will blossom into some kind of lovely neighborhood before long, is not only an alternative for pedestrians but actually could be kind of pleasant? Or that another acceptable crossing would/could be at Scott? Given the volume of traffic at Clybourn/Division, not much can be done to improve the intersection otherwise.

The new Trader Joe's near Diversey and Clark is open. The State Farm facility next door is still under construction however. The Trader Joe's on Roosevelt is also not open yet.

A post here doesn't get any less false just because one repeats it and adds an epithet.

So they announce they want to clean up the Chicago River, and then of all things...

Car Found in North Branch of Chicago River
May 21, 2011
Authorities this afternoon were on the scene where a car was found in the North Branch of the Chicago River near Goose Island.

(Actually this sounds like it will be a foul play story, but it kind of adds insult to injury and also reminds one how much industrial crap there might be in the river around that area.)
