B'way & Barry Dominick's - Will It Ever Be Rebuilt?

A few months ago the East Lakeview Dominick's at Broadway and Barry burned down (no great loss as far as I'm concerned). It's still I see just a concrete slab, I've heard nothing about re - building or any other plans for the site. Anyone know anything? I'm just curious...I shop primarily at Treasure Island a few blocks north...

It will be a while before the store reopens, if it does at all. The store was not part of the Dominick's stores that were sold to Safeway several years ago. It was retained by the former Dominick's ownership as Safeway wasn't interested in it.

Dominicks has a long term lease on the property, but does not own the real estate. There has been some speculation that the real estate owners would like to develop a high rise on the property with a new Dominick's on the ground level.

The resolution of planning and zoning issues for such a project is a long way off if it does even happen.

Years ago when I first moved to the area (1978) there was a Gold Standard liquor store in the space fronting B'way (in front of Dominick's) that is now occupied by the bank. Shortly afterwards Gold Standard moved over to the "Chalet" on Clark (where it still now resides as Binny's)...

Also just across the way from Dominick's was Pepe's, a little Mexican joint a few steps down from the street. It was just about the only place on that stretch where you could get Mexican food...

There was a Chinese place on the NE corner of B'way & Wellington (now a bike shop)...

For a quick bite we'd go to the Golden Nugget on the SW corner of B'way & Belmont (now a bank) or to Ricky's across the way. The neighborhood grocery was Evergreen (space now occupied by a Walgreen's). In that day and age there was still a kosher butcher on the east side of the 3300 block of Broadway...

For Sunday brunch we'd go to the Brewery on the SW corner of B'way & Briar (now an optical shop)...it was very chic, we felt like we were in New York
