Signs of life at the NE Alberta building next door to Salt & Straw: Per an OLCC application, farmer's market favorite Via Chicago, a Chicago-style pizza joint, is moving ahead with plans to open its first brick-and-mortar location. Signs announcing the 45-seat pizza restaurant/bottleshop first went up last summer, with building construction delays to blame for the hold-up. Via Chicago plans to be open from lunch to late-night (on the weekends, anyway); updates as they become available. [EaterWire]
