The transformation of Lincoln Avenue north of Irving Park continues. In addition to the shoddy old Jewel being rehabed, the neighborhood now has a country bar where you can dance dance dance! If you're tired of going to Carol's Pub for your country tunes, you can now give the Horseshoe a shot. (And if you missed Antje this weekend, I hear you missed quite a show.)
