With a heavy heart that we share the news of the passing of our friend and colleague, Marco Nalls. Marco passed away suddenly in his sleep on October 16th at the age of 32. Marco has been a part of the chamber family for over five years, serving the community on our maintenance team & being the friendly face we all know, love, and could always count on. Marco was such a special, thoughtful man, who always went above and beyond to help others.

Everyone who knew him knew he was hard working and put his family & loved ones first in everything he did. Marco shares a special place in all of our lives, with close bonds to his family & friends, and is survived by his mother, Delores, young daughter Myesha, and his sister Mia, and his cousins who loved him endlessly. We send our unending support and love to his family in this incredibly difficult time.

Marco’s family could use extra support from the community at this time, as Marco was a father above all else and is survived by his young daughter Myesha. We are asking our community to extend their support to the family in this time of hardship. Please consider donating to this GoFundMe to support Marco’s family through this difficult time. Proceeds go directly to the family to support the cost of the funeral and any expenses they may have in the wake of his sudden passing.

There are no words to express how much Marco meant to our team and the Lakeview community, and he will be missed by so many.

On October 14th, we welcomed Randall Hopkins Art & Antiques to the neighborhood! Specializing in British art and antiques from the 18th and 19th century, Randall's shop is a unique new retail store that features some of the most brilliant pieces that you'll have to see for yourself! 

Randall opened his first shop in the 90s while teaching art in Madison, both in public schools and at the University of Wisconsin. His first shop ran for 17 years in Madison before he moved to London, England, where he lived and traded for six years. Randall and his husband returned to the States in 2016 and he continued my business at various antiques shows in the wider Chicago area.

To this say, Randall still travels to London and other parts of the UK regularly to buy art and antiques for the new shop! Stop by the location at 2929 North Broadway, meet Randall and peruse the beautiful art and antique pieces he has collected over the years!

The 133 year old wood framed house on Kenmore is one of the last relics from the neighborhood and a developer would like to put a 4 story condo building in it's place. The house is so close to the field that Dave Kingman once landed his whopper of a home run on the front porch of the building across the street in 1978.
