Did you know Uptown United helps fund storefront activations right here in the neighborhood? 💛

The Storefront Activation Program is designed to help local businesses like @groundfloorphysicaltherapy invest in their facade and create a presence that stops people in their tracks.

✨Because when our storefronts thrive, the whole neighborhood thrives.

⚡️If you are a business in the SSA 34 boundary, check to see if a rebate program is right for you!

May is AAPI Heritage Month — and there is no better place to celebrate than right here on Argyle Street. 🏮

Asia on Argyle has been the heartbeat of Chicago’s Asian and Pacific Islander community for decades. The restaurants, the shops, the neighbors who built something real here and never stopped showing up.

This corridor deserves every bit of your attention — not just this month, but all year long.

✨And this summer? The block is coming even more alive.
Every Thursday in July and August the Argyle Night Market takes over from 5 to 9PM — street food, live music, cultural performances, and local vendors all on one of the most vibrant streets in the city. 📍

Come celebrate with us. ✨
