For about 3 seconds, I read this literally.  Someone is planting a grove of olive trees in Chicago.  Oy!

Meh. If they had any guts, they'd put the Olive Garden on Taylor Street.  Then a PF Chang's on Wentworth.

Avondale isn't a suburb?

Ha! good point. Technically, the distinction is binary: on one side of a border you are in the city. On the other, a suburb. But what are we usually really talking about when we talk about city and suburb? Lifestyle? Ambience? Population density? Walkability? In all of these aspects there are huge swaths of Chicago which are more "suburban" than downtown Oak Park, Evanston or scores of other actual suburbs.

Low density and car dependence.
