  • Compass roseTwist Lounge, an upscale bar from the owners of Zest! Exciting Food Creations, plans to take the space next door to the popular restaurant along 54th Street about a block east of the Monon Trail. The lounge is taking about 2,100 square feet.

  • Side Street Grille at 135 N. Pennsylvania St. on the second floor of BMO Plaza and Side Street Deli at 2066 N. Illinois St. have closed.

The Illinois Street location will offer online lunch ordering for groups of 10 or more.
  • 14 West, the upscale restaurant named for its Maryland Street address, has closed after an eight-year run. The restaurant was previously known as Malibu on Maryland.

  • Side Street Closed?
    I can't say for sure about the downtown "Grille" but Side Street Deli in the near-north was always pretty full at lunch whenever I went. Very surprised to hear about their closing.
  • 14 West Suites?
    Is the 14 West Suites closed as well? If so, converting the suites into condominiums would be a good idea.

  1. Good ole' Obamacare. Thanks liberals and those who didn't bother to vote.

  2. Yes. Blame those who were too lazy to go vote Obama out and those who voted him in again. That's my take on it. I know folks won't get it on the left. OK. Start berating me now!

  3. Serioulsy, people are AGINST this project? Most communities would be salivating over a project like this. You'd rather have an empty eye-sore gas station and shacks posing as apartments? This project is exactly what BR needs. BUILD IT MR MAYOR. And yes, I am a BR resident, and have been for 20 years.

  4. As a St. Vincent employee of over 20 years, I am saddened and disheartened by this announcement. Unfortunately, as the healthcare "industry" continues on this political and corporate path, all that St. Vincent Hospital has stood for spiritually for its employees and this community is being sucked dry. I know it truly has no choice. It is not just Obamacare or just competition or just any single thing. This trend started long before I was even born when the government became involved in healthcare and it became an "industry." I grieve for those who will lose their jobs, one of whom may be me, but I also grieve for this hospital which I have served for over 20 years. May God give us and it the grace to withstand the future of healthcare.

  5. Why do people constantly harp on this issue and act ignorant about what a city population measures? A city's population is the city's population. There is no argument or debate about it. If you want to measure the density of a city--measure it. If you want to measure the size of a metropolitan area, then measure the metropolitan population. City boundaries cover different sized areas--and they always have (though the disparity has probably increased since about 1900 or so when more cities began annexing their surrounding communities). For example, San Francisco only covers 49 square miles while Houston cover nearly 600 square miles. No one argues about the population rankings of either city even though they clearly cover extremely different sized areas. Indianapolis is the 13 largest city by population in the U.S. That is a fact. While the population of a metropolitan area may give you a better sense of how large a community is, as noted, even metro areas can vary widely in the size of geographic area they cover--so that is not a perfect comparison either.
