awesome location. Right by the new green line stop and less than a mile from the Western Ave Metra stop (meaning an easier commute back home after dropping off your car for many in western and Northern burbs)

But at least we're getting a service center. The other location was just a showroom.

This thread has been dark for far too long. Is there anyone in the area who is willing to drive by the new location and check on progress?

2001 W Lake, got it. If no one gets to it before I do, I'll drive by it Saturday when I'm in town.

You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.

Swung by the address and snapped 2 quick pics from the car window. Still looks like minimal progress. Sorry guys.

I did some detective work and the building at 2033 W. Walnut St. seems more likely to be a service center than a showroom. But at least they are making progress.

2033 W. Walnut is the address of the entrance to the guest lounge for the service center I presume, especially since there is a key drop. From Reddit:

Selfishly, I am stoked that it's so close to the western stop on the Metra. Plus they're supposedly building a new green line stop on Lake and Damen. This is really a great location logistically. Easy access for folks in the city and many burbs.

And a terrific location if you like craft breweries / distilleries / coffee roasters

If it was a couple miles west they could have enough space for a test track but nobody wants to drive to the West side. Having it on Lake I'm glad the el columns are still widely spaced at Damen. Otherwise people would be driving out, hitting a column and driving right back in.

Overall it is nice that it isn't in Fulton Market.

I saw goose island is 3 blocks away. Trips to the service center won't be too bad!
