The SCOOP. At the front counter, there was a sheet of information on a petition for our neighborhood.
The first two lines made me audibly grumble: "Currently, SEVEN beauty salons operate betweeen 4700 - 4950 N. Damen. An appeal has been filed with the city by Saturn Spa, LLC to open yet another salon/spa at 4845 N. Damen Avenue. " There is a city ordinance that prevents too-similar businesses from opening less than 1000ft. away from an existing "competitor". This is obviously an extreme example, but it gives you an idea of how allowing an over-population of too-similar businesses can affect an entire neighborhood... and not in a good way. If you live and/or work in and around the Ravenswood/Lincoln Square neighborhood, please take a moment to read more about this issue below, and - if you agree - please please sign the petition linked below.
Here's the info: City of Chicago Municipal Code Zoning ordinance requires Salons/ Spas to be at least 1,000 feet away from each other. Thank you in advance. Wedding Style Guide.

I have a feeling she may inspire many stylish women the world over who are stuck when it comes to choosing an outfit for a wedding. Take a leaf out of the First Lady's book... colour and shape maketh the woman!
