There's no shortage of happenings within the East Side Business Improvement District these days.

Ma Fischer's is moving full speed ahead on its new digs on Farwell and Kenilworth, the Twisted Fork restaurant is opening up on the other end of the same block, the 24 hour coffee shop Node is open for business on North Ave, and Izumi's Japanese restaurant is looking to move next door to its current building on Prospect. The Small Animal Hospital on Farwell has purchased new space on Newhall, and across the street from its current location, UWM's Kenilworth building will soon begin a major facelift.

Amidst these and other developments, there are casualties to report. Heiser Ford has officially moved to Glendale vacating a major space, and the Globe East nightclub has announced it will close its doors for good on April 30, 2003.
