Stella's - coming to the Depot

A new coffee joint will be taking over the property at the Woodstock Depot in August.

Stella's off the Square expects to open in August, with hours from the early morning train to 1:00PM. The business is being put together by Danielle Delatorre, who was previous associated with Java Planet.

Danielle will be at the Woodstock City Council meeting on Tuesday, July 16, to do the requisite begging for approval. Plans call for the City to upgrade the restrooms.

Be sure to watch for the opening.

The business may expect a boost in customers at the Woodstock Depot, if Metra comes through with its plans to relocate the Crystal Lake rail deadheads to the west side of Woodstock. Let's hope that the City Fathers carefully evaluate the noise from the parking of rail cars in or just outside Woodstock. The cars themselves won't be a nuisance but, if engines run all night, the neighbors may go on the warpath.

Having all trains come to Woodstock will be a great convenience for many.
