Shambhala Meditation Center

The meditation center, at 37 N. Carpenter St., will offer yoga and tai chi classes and more.

The former Buddhist center in Rogers Park should be gone by the end of the week, authorities said.

Fox said he wouldn't sell his two-car garage to the billionaire, and now he fears he could be boxed in.

The alderman's decision was influenced by a developer's campaign contributions, some residents said.

After six months of deliberation, Ald. Joe Moore decided to support a zoning change for the structure.

A prairie-style mansion would have to be demolished to make way for the new development.

The Pritzker group hoped alterations to the 250-car garage design would appease opponents.

Ald. Joe Moore said he would make a final decision within "the next week or so."

Relocating from Rogers Park, the center will offer meditation, yoga and flower arranging at former shop.

The proposed four-story parking structure would replace a Buddhist meditation center on Sheridan Road.

The proposal would replace a Shambhala Meditation Center with 250 parking spaces.

The 4-story structure would be "a very spiritual parking lot," joked an employee at the Buddhist center.
