09/06/22 Midori's Floating World Cafe
Midori's Floating World Cafe was located a block from the third precinct. Their former building still stands next to the destroyed building that was home to Minnehaha Liquors. Midori's has been open since April at their new location a half mile down the road - in a former Subway.
2 years ago the city closed a large part of the Little Earth Trail after tents returned to the Wall of Forgotten Natives, where homeless gathered in 2018. With the fencing, the city also made it a graveyard of old metal street poles and concrete barricades. It's still closed off.
As the city begins “Monthly learning tables” as part of its “38th & Chicago Re-Envisioned” project, more than a year after streets were reopened to vehicles, the ask from those at George Floyd Square continues to be the same as it has been since August 7, 2020: Meet the demands.
