The two houses that have stood at the corner of W. Mill and S. Illinois for 20 to 30 years are being demolished. From what I understand, plans are to put in a two story commercial building there, with retail space on the first floor and residential space on the second.
A good retail development there will certainly help foot traffic on the south end of the Strip. People who are shopping don't like to walk past large stretches of empty space, which is a major problem on the north end of the Strip. Once you pass Pagliai's and Dairy Queen on foot, ther's no other place to shop or spend time in until you reach Bike Surgeon on the left side of the Strip or Family Hair Center on the right.
