Glencoe trustees have recently approved a special-use permit for the redevelopment of Hubbard Woods Plaza, allowing for the construction of a three-story, 45-foot-high commercial building. The plaza's owners plan to include the former Walgreens site and the vacant space previously occupied by Domino's Pizza, encompassing nearly 35,000 square feet. In addition, there will be nine new garage parking spaces accessible from the alley behind the existing building.

The approved permit also includes a condition that the developer designs a corridor enabling access to the building's elevator from both entrances. by Michael Mitchell

Park District officials in Glencoe are excited about the upcoming renovation of the Watts Recreational Center. The $6 million project will add a multipurpose room, new restrooms, and storage areas, as well as upgrades to the indoor ice-support facility. The aim is to create more recreational opportunities for residents and bring fresh social activities to the community.

The center, originally built in 1959, is well known for its outdoor ice rinks, which were installed in 1972. These rinks are supported by indoor services, such as skate rental and storage. As part of the renovation project, the indoor space will be upgraded, and the rinks will get new dasher boards around their perimeters. by Michael Mitchell

Remember Dewey's burger and hog dog shop in downtown Glencoe? Local restaurateur John Merlo used to operate the restaurant at 667 Vernon Ave. between 2013 and 2015, and now, Merlo is back in the same space after recently opening the newest iteration of his Italian restaurant, Merlo's. The friendly Italian restaurant operated in Highland Park for around seven years until its closure in 2019. Now, according to Merlo, the time is right to venture back into Glencoe and revive his Italian restaurant for North Shore diners.

If you visited the Highland Park location for Merlo's in years past, you can expect to find a similar menu at the new downtown Glencoe spot but without the wood-fired pizza. by Michael Mitchell
