Loyola University Chicago will move forward with the demolition of 6341 N. Broadway, the former home of Porkchop restaurant, after extensive assessments determined the building was a total loss following the August 2025 fire.

A Year Later: A Community Improvement Takes Root
Last year, Loyola partnered with the City of Chicago to reimagine the large planter at the intersection of Sheridan, Devon, and Broadway. What was once an overgrown space with limited visibility has been transformed with new landscaping, lower-growing plantings that improve sightlines, ongoing maintenance by Loyola, and a concrete barrier designed to prevent mud runoff onto surrounding sidewalks. See the transformation in our short before-and-after video.
