People don’t immediately think of State Street as a neighborhood where people live, but Bill Cosh has lived on the street for the past 10 years.
His apartment, in a 38-unit building above Walgreens on the corner of State and Lake streets, sits across from where the popular campus bar Madhatters planned on opening, causing an uproar.
That the bar’s owner decided not to relocate to the bottom of State comes as a big relief to Cosh and others like him.
….(Ted) Gervasi, who could not be reached Tuesday night, told (Alderman Mike) Verveer that he would still like to open Madhatters somewhere in the campus area and that he was going to start a new search for a suitable location.
