It is sad to see another long time anchor business of the community go down. Leona's has great food and yes, I am guilty of the delivery thing, I do order out (got to love grub-hub!)
But the fact that long time companies feel the need to downsize signifies that the recovery is still a slow process and that with every job created, there will be a loss.
The 49th ward in Chicago is not immune. We have seen a number of longtime businesses disappear and new projects (like the gateway center) not take off and stagnate. The diverse nature of the ward makes it difficult to court any single demographic, depending where you are in the ward.
I hope that we can keep the long time neighbor, Leona's, a part of Rogers Park. But it takes the community to support it! - B. Wojtas
