The Glenwood Ave Arts District is getting an unexpected bonus out of the renovations at the Morse Ave. CTA station. At the Lunt (north) end of the station, the decrepit store building is being demolished to make way for bicycle parking.
Alderman Joe Moore writes about working with the CTA to find a constructive use for the space after it was determined that the building was in untenable condition and insufficient funds existed for its reconstruction. According to Ald. Moore, the CTA intended to simply fence in the dead space.

As promised, the CTA has re-opened the Morse Ave Red Line station in time for the 2012 Glenwood Ave Arts Fest.
After six weeks of extremely busy renovation, the CTA completed major renovation of the tracks, platform, and station house at Morse Ave. According to CTA Tattler, the station rehab earns an A- at this point, still needing a few bits of polishing around the edges.
Read a more complete review of the station work here.

The 2012 entertainment schedule looks great. With the Fest only 10 days away, a few last-minute changes have been made to the music schedule.
Friday night is going to kick the festival off right at the Friday Night Cobblestone Jam from 6pm to 10pm, featuring the Dimestore String Band and the Muddflapps.
We're pleased to announce, and incredibly excited for, the return of the Environmental Encroachment Magic Circus Band to the Morse Ave Mainstage on Saturday in addition to Sam Llanas formerly of the Bo Deans headlining the North Stage Saturday night.
Sunday evening is such an amazing lineup, it'll be tough to see it all. From Nicholas Baron in the afternoon to The Henhouse Prowlers closing it out on the North Stage.
