Rosscoe's Chicken & Waffles, Anyone?

There seems to be some debate about whether this Chicago newcomer is related to L.A.'s Roscoe's or Brooklyn's Rosscoe's (or neither). But when I drove by the corner of Oakwood Blvd and King Drive recently, it looked like interior renovations were being finished up.

...Or at least that's my best guess after peering through gaps in the paper covering the windows.

Whenever it opens, it'll be serving up chicken and waffles in a prime retail space in the newly-rehabbed Grand Terrace Condominium development. The 41-unit elevator building houses one- and two-bedroom units priced from $119,000. As you might imagine, units in this prominent structure at the corner of two historic boulevards are selling quickly.

If the well-appointed lobby and elevator weren't enough to win the buyers over, perhaps the thought of having maple syrup & fried chicken downstairs will do the trick.
