Show Notes

Earlier this year, a man driving in Chicago’s West Garfield Park neighborhood was shot and killed. His car smashed through the front of LiFE restaurant on Madison Street. The incident is an all too-common tragedy for a neighborhood that struggles with violent crime. It was also a major blow to the mom-and-pop eatery. Residents worried it would mean the end of one of West Garfield’s few restaurants. But Joe and Tonya Black - the husband and wife who own and run Life restaurant - repaired the storefront.
