It's really cool what they've done here! The "factory district" feel has been preserved, and history of the place acknowledged. But the newness is phenomenal. Modern office and creative spaces inside old warehouses. Shops and restaurants interspersed. Walk over to the Bulls' stadium or sit out by the waterway for some r&r.

Such a gorgeous use of space. Being from N.E. I can tell you we'd never be able to enjoy such a well thought out renovation of an entire area. Too many hands in the basket so-to-speak. LOVE the water features and flowing water. Great open spaces to enjoy and gather in. And the businesses are amazing as well. KUDOS!
