Lola’s Coney Island, the beloved Detroit-style hot dog joint on Chicago and Francisco, is closing its doors as the block gears up for a big transformation. City permits have cleared the way for demolition, with a four-story building featuring 15 apartments and ground-floor retail set to rise in its place. For many in Humboldt Park, this means saying goodbye to a favorite local hangout and wondering what’s next for the neighborhood. How do you feel about losing classic corner spots for new developments? Is this progress, or are we losing too much local flavor? #Food #HumboldtPark #ChicagoEats
