'This is not the neighborhood it used to be. This neighborhood was safe. We don't see it getting better.'
One of the city's oldest Italian restaurants is throwing in the towel, saying"ciao" to Chicago and moving to the suburbs.
"When we first opened in 1995, it was Michael Jordan's heyday. We were jam-packed before a Bulls game. You couldn't even get in, said Bella Notte co-owner Ramon Aguirre. The Italian restaurant, among the oldest in Chicago, is now packing up. It served its last meal earlier this month, and it's a decision Ramon Aguirre, who owns the restaurant with his father, did not take lightly.
Citing an uptick of crime bundled with ongoing construction along Grand Avenue, which has made parking impossible, and mounting fines from the city for what he described as low-level trivial offenses at his restaurant, the family has decided to leave Chicago. "This is not the neighborhood it used to be. This neighborhood was safe. We don't see it getting better," Aguirre said.
