Lincoln Park family mainstay Tilli’s has lost its lease after more than a decade of operation, the Tribune reports. The question of who’s taking over the space has yet to be answered, but one contender floated at a recent community meeting is dude bar Bull & Bear — a prospect that has residents riled up. They’re worried that dropping a sports bar into the neighborhood “would really generate the kind of noise and crowds that people who have moved into this area have moved here to get away from,” said one resident.
