Love these skinny commercial buildings

I don’t know what it is, I guess it reminds me of stuff I’d see walking around Soho back in my NYC days...sans the decorative detailing. I would look at these buildings and think, “Today nobody builds stuff like this, especially outside of Manhattan”. Yet here comes the West Loop with its unique set of demand and site constraints to make such projects economical

Who wants to go to the West Loop and burn Mille down with me?

Gradually beginning to see the ground floor retail space emerge.

Millie is okay, but I’d have rather the row homes stayed.

Naming a building Millie? I guess stranger things have happened.

Compare it to the original renderings. Big con-job

Thanks, I was hoping to at least get one person.

I toured the interior of the old County Hospital recently. incredible building. One thing that’s sad though is the stair stepped operating theaters will be closed off and un-renovated as they are complicated spaces to adapt for code reasons. Maybe one-day they’ll see a creative use

They are located where that blanked out brick section is above the columns on either end of the building

What ever happened to Lightfoot putting an end to Aldermanic prerogative?

^so disappointing. It’s a goddamn grocery store and old folks home. How NIMBY do you have to be to oppose that??

Seriously, she's off to a very mediocre start in my book. Looking more and more like a one term mayor with each passing month
