Things are (possibly) looking up over at Block 37. Monday, news broke that 24-hour gym chain XSport Fitness was sniffing around the complex and may be in the process of signing a lease in the troubled mall. XSport has a ton of locations in Chicago and the surrounding area.

Reports Chicago Business, "Los Angeles-based CIM Group is nearing leases with AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. to open the only commercial movie theater in the Loop and with gym operator XSport Fitness, according to sources familiar with the deals. Both would move onto the building's empty fourth floor." It's a step, right?
