If there was ever a neighborhood that screamed Wal-Mart, River North likely isn't it. But Crain's reports that the superstore just signed a multi-year lease at 225 W. Chicago, in the 14,300 square-foot space that once house art supply shop Pearl just beneath the Brown Line. Now you can get canned goods, diapers, a tent and some unique art without leaving the neighborhood. [Crain's]
