"Late last year, the owners of Santorini began soliciting interest with those who might want to purchase their property at the corner of Halsted and Adams. Like other immigrant enclaves across the country, Greektown has changed as many have headed to the suburbs. Development has also reshaped the neighborhood as the mystique of Randolph Restaurant Row helped make real estate prices soar in the West Loop. As restaurants temporarily closed for winter last year, not wanting to deal with the complications of keeping the workplace safe during a pandemic and trying to serve customers during cold weather, there was hope that Santorini would reopen. As birds begin chirping and ice melts around Chicago, some restaurants are returning from hibernation. Santorini is not among them." - Ashok Selvam
