“Steps apart from each other, restaurants offered Thai, Italian, Mexican, sushi, Indian and once-trendy crepes, living up to the “Restaurant Row” nickname granted to the 3900 block of North Sheridan Road.
But with several of those restaurants having moved or closed, and many new large residential developments being built with empty storefronts, the area has become a frequently forgotten pocket of Lakeview.
Business owners on the block say it needs a new identity, and soon it could have one.”
