That is what I meant, post-industrial and the residential areas that are right along the tracks are nearby are pretty bombed out until you get really close to downtown and even there it is mostly warehouses until you get east of the Kennedy near the Loop.

That is an example of Chicago's "alley El's", no doubt that is somewhere on the north side, there are major commercial areas along the streets where there are stops (i.e. Armitage, Fullerton, Belmont, etc. but those are streets that cross the tracks, in general streets are not right underneath the tracks with a few aforementioned exceptions. Aside from the Loop itself there are really no areas in Chicago that look exactly like those pictures of the Ditmars area of Queens, NYC.
