Can anyone remember what it used to be like along Jarvis and Greenview?
One of the more remarkable transformations to occur in Rogers Park in the past few years has been the revival of Jarvis Square. With Charmer’s Cafe, Poitin Stil, Luzzat Restaurant, (award winning) Side Project Theater, Rogers Bark, Gruppo D’Amici and Taste Wine, among other locales, this corridor in the heart of the community truly warrants community support.
Retailers and businesses everywhere are suffering and all are seeking the boost that they can generate from Holiday shopping; let’s support local businesses, like those in Jarvis Square, and elsewhere in the neighborhood.
And let’s not forget our brand new work out facility, just west of the El Tracks, on Jarvis, V Tone Fitness!
Please consider stopping by the Shop Jarvis Square event, Saturday, December 12th, starting at 11:00AM

About the Author
Mike has a long term relationship with Rogers Park, having lived here at various times in his life, most recently returning to the neighborhood in August, 2009. While living here as a third year law student, he remembers drunken nights at Biddy Mulligan’s and hosting a couple of memorable parties that he, hypocritically, now forbids his own tenants from having. Years later, after completing his stint as a lawyer, Mike started investing in apartment buildings in Rogers Park (and elsewhere), and soon after, did what many newly divorced real estate investors do: he moved into one of his buildings. In 1992 Mike was one of the founding members of the Rogers Park Builders Group, an organization that he eventually headed for six years, until yielding those reigns three years ago. Around a decade ago, on a whim, he reserved the web site “Rogerspark.com,” which he has been developing ever since, and which co-hosts RP BizArts networking events. Mike is the proud father of three wonderful children, Amy, Mitch and Ella.
