Sammy's Touch on Cottage Grove

I've heard that Sammy's is closed. I intend to walk by and investigate, however, is there any news regarding this ? If true, it would be a great loss. Probably due to the new Univ. of Chgo Medical Center expansion. Anyone read or know anything ? btw.....5659 S Cottage Grove Ave

Sammy's has indeed closed. There's a sign on their door directing customers to their new location at 250 E. 103rd Street. There are concrete barriers blocking off the parking lot, indicating the university's impending demolition of the little strip mall. The university plans to build a parking garage for the new hospital building on the site (http://www.dnainfo.com/chicago/20130403 ... of-chicago).

It's a loss for the neighborhood. It was a solid place where Hyde Parkers, students, construction workers, nurses, and doctors all rubbed elbows in raising their cholesterol levels. Felt like the most down-to-earth place in the neighborhood to get Chicago-style fast food (and the occasional taco for a change of pace, on the Mexican section of the board).

Yes, Sammy's will certainly be missed. It was my go to spot when I lived in walking distance and worked at the Hospital. I have seen the location mentioned on east 103rd street, however, I've never visited.
Thanks for the info......I guess we can move this to the thread of openings, closings, etc.......
