Only something as life-changing as the COVID-19 pandemic could get people happy about a road closure.
But that s exactly what s happening in Mundelein, where village officials and restaurateurs are celebrating the re-transformation of a roughly one-block stretch of Park Street into an outdoor dining and entertainment area ahead of summer s arrival.
