Starbucks at 103rd and Longwood

FYI - The Starbucks at 103rd and Longwood is closing for remodeling starting on 3/17 and reopening in May. 

I heard through the grapevine that most employees will be working at the 95th and Ashland location until the Longwood location opens. I'm glad that they'll be able to keep working during that closure.

Other local coffee options:  Afro Joe's on 99th, Two Mile on Walden, Andy Sunflower Cafe on Western, O'Kelly's on Western, Erin's Cup on 111th and more. 

South Side Irish parade on 3/17










Tomorrow at noon the parade steps off from 103rd and Western. Enjoy!
