Now, if you were talking about at 3am, then you'd have a point - it gets quiet, but during a nice weekend day/evening in the summer there's numerous people out there. It's definitely not quiet in reality.

And this site is only 1-2 blocks from the site I was talking about which was denied. It's very close.
I was just in Chicago two weeks ago.

I don't mean all of River North, but anywhere that the street consists of parking entrances and garages has no street life. It's very pedestrian unfriendly. Clark Street is a different story, for instance, at least from Grand to the river.
