Chatham business owners convened Thursday for a roundtable discussion with Mayor Rahm Emanuel at the QBG Foundation (QBG), 806 E. 78th St.
The mayor visited the Chatham community several times while on the campaign trail including a stop at Izola’s Restaurant during a neighborhood listening tour to learn what Chicagoans wanted in a mayor. He explained that his visit last week carries the same momentum.
“I came to Chatham during the campaign, and I’m here again, because I want Chatham, and places like Chatham, to have the same type of growth, investment, and opportunity as we see downtown,” said Emanuel.

Thanks to Strannik_REB45 for sending us a Tweet on the link. Larissa Tyler of the QBG Foundation and Citizen Newspaper also posted the news on Facebook.
I am wondering -- did the Mayor know that the restaurant he visited was closed? Does he even care?
