Shut Down After Hanley Fire, Magpie Owner Teases ‘Soon-ish’ Reopening

Nearly 10 months after the Hanley Furniture building fire, one displaced restaurant is getting closer to reopening their doors.

Magpie owner Stephanie Mosher Caltagerone shared a flier on Facebook with what you could say had a very cryptic description.

The picture is an old "Opening Soon" flier from when Magpie opened originally. Caltagerone says "Well, soon-ish. Never thought I'd be using this photo again! Details coming soon, like actually soon."

Magpie was located at 307 South Main Street in Rockford. According to a WIFR, Caltagerone filed a lawsuit in late 2017 against former Hanley building owner, Sam Pirello.

A court date was allegedly scheduled for late January, yet details on the decision, if any, have been hard to find.
