I completely disagree! "desolate wasteland devoid of pedestrian activity!" wow. no way! The restaurants along Randolph are great, and throw in all the Greek places on Halsted and its some of the best dining in the city. The are also a good hand full of watering holes all around the west loop. Its also very CTA friendly with buses running east on every other block going into the loop.
The South Loop is what is desolate! Of course it has great access to the lakefront, but outside of that there is barely any dining/drinking or retail options. (especially east of Michigan)
