That’s because Chicago Avenue from State on West is depressing. A fugly garage, low density nonsense, followed by that sales center/single story commercial replacing what was once a nice, historic building that was demo’d for a failed condo project.

Aside from the Bush Center rehab, Chicago Ave is an embarrassment. It’s time for some serious building.
