LOTS of Bloomingdale residents have shared the following concerns/allegations:
“To Whom It May Concern,
We are writing as a united community of residents, homeowners, neighbors, and stakeholders in and around the Reservoir District development—where EYA is actively building and marketing homes—as well as in adjacent neighborhoods who have a long-standing stake in this project.

The hand-crafted ice cream is made with farm-fresh milk and cream, and premium ingredients sourced from the Mediterranean, and both local and world-renowned producers.
