Morse Red Line

The Morse Red line is in the middle of Rogers Park, and a central location for business, social events, street festivals, and transportation. Located at the 1100 block of West Morse Avenue, extending down Greenword and ending on Lunt. The businesses underneath the physical train is a small Bodega, and a liquor store.

Businesses:

The corner of Morse and Greenword has been host to multiple businesses in the past 5 years. The building has been occupied by two businesses, and one bar. Currently, a small resturaunt called the 626, that mainly serves bar food, calles the corner of the street home.

Down Greenword a new bar called Rogers Park Social has moved in, and although the area is victim to businesses going out of business, it is thriving thanks to its live music, good prices, and all around fun vibes.

More business to come:

Gang association:

Although there are mom and pop shops all down Morse Avenue, the gang presence has been a major factor in the neighborhood. Currently, there is a fued between a gang that claims Morse Avenue and a Gang that claims Jarvis Avenue, which runs adjacent to Morse, for “naming rights” of the Morse Red Line. There has been multiple shooting at the red line, and the surrounding neighborhood, usually planned attacks on rival gang members, but also with the occasional crossfire injury
