Youth Basketball at Old Dominick's site

In the Paint Basketball and Greater Auburn Gresham Development Corporation are sponsoring events at the site of the old Dominick's at 79th & LaSalle. One is THIS Saturday!

From the In The Paint website:
"In the Paint and Greater Auburn Gresham Development Corp presents:

"TRUE HOOPIN"

What: Free basketball clinic, tryouts and games. Ages 8-19,

When: August 29, and September 5, 2009.

Where: 79th and the Dan Ryan at the old Dominick's parking lot.

Time: 12-4pm
Nice to see that the site is being used for something! It'd be nice if perhaps a church could take over the site on a permanent basis, if they can't get another grocery store (like Pete's Produce, or a black-owned grocery), or other store.

Please take photos, or submit photos of previous events that happened there this past month.

Greater Auburn Gresham Development Corp., a co-sponsor, has details on their event website.

  • 17th Ward – Alderman Latasha Thomas

  1. It would be nice to see another grocery store but we have a developer that is not liked by the grocery industry. Tadros Development is also behind the 83rd & Stony Island.
