An Aldi closes and a Chicago neighborhood is reeling from the impact
Published 4 years, 7 months ago
Description
Last year the Garfield Park Aldi closed after 30 years, leaving thousands
of West Siders without a nearby grocery store where they can buy affordable, fresh
produce or other staples. Now, the City of Chicago is considering purchasing the
Aldi property to ensure it remains a grocery store. WBEZ reporter Linda Lutton and
Curious City intern Asia Singleton head to the West Side neighborhood to find how
the store’s closing is impacting residents — and what they’re doing about it.
