19th Ward Chicago: Cafe 103

Cafe 103

It was a great place to go.

Recently we lost a very good restaurant. As it is a serious loss for the neighborhood, I wonder what really happened. The BR reported that landlord raised their rent after a deal to purchase the building fell through. Does anyone out there know what the real facts are?

Rather than post possible reasons here, email me.

Lanlord should not be blamed for this. He is a good man who has done much for our neighborhood.

A combo of the residents not supporting the joint and poor business practices. Simple as that. The food was great.

Allowing a Subway franchise to go in on the block didn't help matters much.

Gotta admit I did not ever go there....I do agree however with the prior post that their business practices were not that great. I do not understand how these little guys do not properly market themselves to the community. I am going to go shop somewhere local today ! Try Bookies for great prices AND they can order books new. I have gotten some school books there too! I want to thank the blogger again for trying to promote our local people....if you stop to think about it the TIME and GAS you save shopping local more than makes up for some prices that may be higher in certain cases.

This blog is about

This blog is non-monetized and uses photos and materials from other sources. It is in compliance with Fair Use Section 107 of the U.S. Copyright Code. Music, videos and mugshots are for entertainment and disincentive purposes only. Any similarities or resemblances to people or pets, living, dead or imprisoned is just your imagination. Some stories are true, some are fictional while some of the stories are funny.

The theme of this blog has changed. We are now headed into a period of extreme political and economic troubles. We want to increase everyone's awareness and show them how to weather the storm. We are going to begin including articles and videos on prepping (food, water, shelter, medicine, self-defense,) basic economics and general SHTF lifestyle changes.

I am not going to be critical of 19th ward politicians. They tend to do the best job they can with very limited resources, and don't need to be beaten up. In fact, people should be helping them as they are among the last "normal" leaders in Illinois.

I am keeping the 19th Ward Chicago name because of the rich blog history going back to 2010 and because there is a ready-made base of similar-thinking readers. For now on, the 19th Ward of Chicago will be mainly a point of reference, an observation deck if you will. A place where allot of good-natured, normal-thinking people still live and can safely view the dysfunction overtaking America. Write whatever you want about whatever or whomever you want. Just keep it true and not vulgar.

At all times, we am going to comply with Blogspot's community standards. We have seen what happens when there is not such compliance.

We will never publish threats of physical violence or baseless attacks on people or institutions.
