Goldblatt's

Goldblatt's was an American chain of local discount stores that operated in Chicago, Illinois, as well as Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin. Founded in 1914, the chain grew to more than twenty stores at its peak, gradually closing some stores in the 1990s and selling others to Ames before finally closing completely in 2000. History Early beginnings Goldblatt's was founded in 1914 by brothers Nate and Maurice Goldblatt. Immigrants from Poland, the Goldblatt family ran a grocery store and butcher shop on Chicago's West Side. Nate and Maurice opened their first store near the corner of Ashland and Chicago Avenue. By 1922, the store recorded sales of over $800,000. By 1928 the brothers formed Goldblatt Brothers Inc. During the Great Depression of the 1930s Goldblatt's did well, and the brothers were able to purchase several smaller department stores. In 1936, Goldblatt's opened its State Street flagship store at State and Van Buren. Goldblatt's moved towards more upscale products and offered small appliances, a delicatessen, and confectionery goods. Bankruptcy By 1946 Goldblatt's was operating 15 stores with $62 million in annual sales. Things went well even as the Goldblatt brothers began to quarrel. In 1941, a one-store expansion into Buffalo, New York, was met with little success; the store closed on November 27, 1948, following a unionization attempt by the employees. By the 1950s growth began to stall, with profits flat-lining and new store openings averaging four a year. By the mid-1960s, retailers such as Kmart, Woolco, Zayre, and Sears were digging into Goldblatt's market. Expansion into the suburbs proved to be a difficult obstacle for Goldblatt's. Middle class shoppers were not enticed to shop at Goldblatt's. The company declared bankruptcy in 1981. In 1982, Goldblatt's reopened with six stores. The mission of the company was restored to selling to low income families. The flagship store, which was to be sold to City of Chicago under Mayor Jane Byrne for a public library location, later sold to DePaul University when the Harold Washington Library was built. Without the money from the City of Chicago Goldblatt's would have closed. Jerrold Wexler helped save the firm from bankruptcy. By 1985 Goldblatt's was profitable. However, changing markets, increasing competition, and old stores doomed the chain. In 2000, Goldblatt's closed once again. Ames purchased several former stores to enter the Chicago market again (Ames had taken over many of Zayre's former Chicago stores, all of them later closed). But later in that same year, it returned and reopened its 47th and Ashland location. Goldblatt's later reclaimed four more locations when Ames closed its Chicago stores. In 2003, the company closed its stores for good and liquidated. Ames Shortly after Goldblatt's closed its stores, discount retailer Ames purchased seven of the stores for $7.6 million in April 2000.

Golf Mill Shopping Center

Golf Mill Shopping Center, or simply Golf Mill is a shopping center located at 239 Golf Mill Center in Niles, Illinois. The shopping mall has a gross leasable area of 1.1 million square feet (100,000 m2). It is managed by Sterling Retail Services. It borders the intersections of Golf Road (Illinois Route 58), Milwaukee Avenue (Illinois Route 21) and Greenwood Avenue. The shopping mall has over 100 specialty shops, three anchor stores (JCPenney, Target, and Ross Dress for Less), an AMC Theatres, a grocery store (Gordon Food Service), a LA Fitness (formerly XSport Fitness), and a 9-story office tower and other outparcels. Former anchors included Sears and Roebuck (closed December 2018), Kohl's (closed Halloween 2020), and Value City Furniture. History Golf Mill opened to the public in October 1960 as an open-air mall and featured an office tower (designed by Chicago architect Edo Belli to look like the top of a golf ball) and Sears. It featured a full "mill" theme, complete with ponds, bridges, and a working waterwheel. Soon after opening, a Lord's department store was built, but closed after a few years and was replaced by JCPenney. Around that time, the Mill Run Playhouse was built at the north end of the complex that wasn't connected to the corridors. General Growth Properties took over the management of the Golf Mill Shopping Center in 1994. After General Growth Properties went bankrupt, Milwaukee Golf Management Corporation took over the management of the Golf Mill Shopping Center in 2009. Sterling Organization purchased Golf Mill Shopping Center in August 2014 via a private equity fund, and its subsidiary, Sterling Retail Services is currently managing the property on behalf of the fund. Renovations In 1986, the mall had major renovations, with the north end being completely rebuilt as an enclosed portion anchored by MainStreet and enclosing the mall between the Sears and JCPenney, also adding a food court in the process. In 2006, GGP remodeled the mall complete with new flooring and a new food court entrance, however the north wing and a corridor in the south wing were left untouched. The remodel also added a 12-screen Kerasotes movie theater. When Ulta first opened in 2017, the mall has planned to relocate the former south food court next to AMC, but it was scrapped. In January 2022, the mall announced that it will be redeveloping most of the mall, planning to demolish the former Sears, AMC, Iconic Circular Tower, and various outlots as part of a "live work play" styled development. The new development would bring back the water wheel, add new outdoor retail, apartment complexes, new greenspace. JCPenney, Ulta Beauty, Chick-fil-A, Panera, Chase, X-Sport Fitness, Burlington, Target, and other stores will remain.

Crossway

Crossway (previously known by its parent ministry Good News Publishers) is an American not-for-profit evangelical Christian publishing ministry headquartered in Wheaton, Illinois. Clyde and Muriel Dennis founded Good News Publishers in 1938, working out of their home in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Crossway is best known for publishing the English Standard Version (ESV) Bible, along with evangelical Christian books. It claims to have distributed more than 290 million ESV Bibles and 1 billion tracts. Crossway In late 1978, Good News Publishers began expanding its reach by establishing Crossway, a publishing division. Beginning under the leadership of Lane T. Dennis (Clyde and Muriel's son), and since 2021, Josh Dennis (his son), Crossway claims that it has published more than 1,500 titles, including books "by Francis A. Schaeffer, Martyn Lloyd-Jones, John Piper, John MacArthur, Paul David Tripp, Jen Wilkin, J. I. Packer, Chuck Colson, Frank Peretti, Max Lucado, Joni Eareckson Tada, and D. A. Carson." In 2012, Good News Publishers and the American Tract Society entered into a joint publishing agreement regarding publication and distribution of gospel tracts throughout North America. ESV Bible translation In 2001, Crossway published the ESV translation of the Bible. The ESV translation committee describes the ESV as a translation that is "essentially literal", following a "word-for-word" philosophy. According to Crossway, the publishing team behind the ESV "has included more than a hundred people." In 2008, Crossway published the ESV Study Bible. In 2016, Crossway made headlines after announcing that the ESV text would be "unchanged forever, in perpetuity" as a "permanent text" edition. After public discourse about the policy, Crossway announced that it would reverse the decision. Notes References External links Official website

Goose Island

Goose Island est à la fois une île et un quartier de la ville de Chicago, dans l'État de l'Illinois. Le quartier est bâti sur une île artificielle située entre la branche nord (North Branch) de la rivière Chicago à l'ouest et le canal de la branche nord (North Branch Canal) à l'est. D'une longueur maximale de 2,4 km et d'une largeur maximale de 800 mètres, l'île couvre une superficie totale de 65 ha (0,65 km2). Géographiquement, le quartier forme la partie nord-ouest du secteur de Near North Side. Goode Island est entourée par les quartiers de Cabrini-Green à l'est, River North au sud, Pulaski Park à l'ouest et Old Town au nord. À la pointe sud de l'île se trouve le célèbre Montgomery Ward Company Complex, bâtiment historique de 1907 inscrit sur la liste des Chicago Landmarks (CL), des National Historic Landmark (NHL) et sur le prestigieux Registre national des lieux historiques (National Register of Historic Places ; NRHP). Goose Island est traversée d'est en ouest par Division Street et du nord au sud par Halsted Street, qui traverse la portion sud-est de l'île. En 1866 Halsted Street était connectée à l'île par la construction d'un pont traversant la rivière ; un deuxième pont sur le canal a été installé en 1870. Ces ponts ont été remplacés par les actuels ponts à bascule en 1904 et 1903 respectivement. L'île est actuellement un quartier industriel où il s'est implanté un grand nombre d'usines et d'industries ces dernières années.
