  1. The food is fine, if a bit pricey for an in-building commissary. Their lunchtime hours are 11 to 1 (specials of the day from the kitchen) though the grill is open, I think from 10-2. Burgers, grilled chicken and a selection of prepared sandwiches on baguettes (ham, turkey, tuna, roast beef and the like). Selection is iffy most days -- they're not really a commercial operation.
  2. I work for one of the tenants in the HCC building across the street. As far as I can tell, the CVS was built for the residents living east and north along Elgin. A sandwich shop in there would be very welcome as the only thing in the HCC building is cafe Neo, staffed by HCC culinary arts students. Cali is just across the street to the west but something like a Subway would do a bang-up business, at least for the lunchtime crowd. There is a Subway at Holman but walking there can be scary at times.
  3. In close proximity, then. But, both are apparently mixed-use, new urban-style developments.
  4. So is this the same project (http://www.midwaycompanies.com/Projects/_/town_country.asp) discussed here or two adjacent projects, both mixed-use, lifestyle developments?
  5. It has it's benefits ... local pubs, cafes and theatres, the tube, ability to live without a car. It's all in the careful planning of where you live and work. A little more pedestrian and bicycle friendliness would be an improvement but I doubt it will happen without a little more density.
