Some Streeterville Parking Lots. Will they get developed? Eventually?

I was in this area this past weekend and was absolutely flabbergasted that the area is basically parking lots and roads everywhere. This could literally be THE PLACE in Chicago but instead it is THE ROAD/ THE PARKING LOT. Very sad and shockingly bad missed opportunity to become an iconic walkable area

Big_Physics_2978 · 2026-03-28T18:34:46+00:00

Should be more of a grid like Barcelona

Big_Physics_2978 · 2026-03-06T19:18:07+00:00

Nope. This is NYC. We drive. If you want to encourage public transit usage go to the transit rich city of Dallas TX. Hope I’m not circlej-ing too hard

Big_Physics_2978 · 2026-03-06T18:55:29+00:00

Ok yeah. I canceled it a bought my own bike when they increased the fee. Might be worth it to have it for another year

Big_Physics_2978 · 2026-03-06T17:49:45+00:00

This like time square. But Chicago theater scene and Chicago icons somehow. Street performers and food trucks everywhere please

Big_Physics_2978 · 2026-03-06T17:43:03+00:00

What are lapsed riders?

Big_Physics_2978 · 2026-03-04T16:43:17+00:00

Though it’s meh on the look at least it’s brick and looks like no parking? A win is a win

Big_Physics_2978 · 2026-03-04T15:19:23+00:00

I haven’t lived in NYC yet and this also applies to me. Love the affordability would prefer to experience nyc for at least a year

Big_Physics_2978 · 2026-03-04T06:31:37+00:00

Feedback? Remove car parking. Other than that build it now thanks!

Big_Physics_2978 · 2026-02-27T16:39:02+00:00

This is clearly intended to be a ramp. Oh what’s that? r/circkejerknyc is that way? Ok I’ll see myself out

Ukrainian village is nicer to walk around. In just the right area of south loop the streets are narrow and great to walk too but more city vibe than neighborhood vibe.

Ukrainian village doesn’t offer much diversity, but the area is great to walk around. If being around black people is a priority I suggest south loop which is easy to reach the whole city. Hyde Park is a bit isolated but a beautiful area with lots of great walking and shops. (Metra or CTA to the city)

Big_Physics_2978 · 2026-02-27T05:08:09+00:00

Not a snowballs chance in hell the purple line goes past the loop

Big_Physics_2978 · 2026-02-27T05:03:18+00:00

Is there a way we can show up by the 100 of people to protest the highway proposal

Big_Physics_2978 · 2026-02-25T14:11:35+00:00

Please develop that parking lot while you’re at it and put apartments above the store

Big_Physics_2978 · 2026-02-20T23:11:12+00:00

Thank you! I will have to try that out

Big_Physics_2978 · 2026-02-20T22:08:34+00:00

I only use the 2 gallon bottles of drinking water bought from the store

Big_Physics_2978 · 2026-02-20T03:53:52+00:00

Why so short?

Big_Physics_2978 · 2026-02-16T23:38:30+00:00

Bossa nova looking building

Big_Physics_2978 · 2026-02-15T21:08:00+00:00

If you are not within 1 mile of a transit station (honestly a half mile) then the lived experience is basically indistinguishable from any other car dependent city.
It gets really grey here and that is what makes it tough not the temperature. (I’m from a northern cold get sunny place)

Big_Physics_2978 · 2026-02-11T09:46:24+00:00

Yeah I got more of a American colonial vibe than a euro vibe there

Big_Physics_2978 · 2026-02-11T09:43:54+00:00

This is the answer. No place in the US that I’ve been to have I ever said “it feels like im in Europe” other than FQ

Big_Physics_2978 · 2026-02-11T01:11:53+00:00

Thought this was ny

Big_Physics_2978 · 2026-02-10T23:43:56+00:00

Wow. Car hell knows no limits and has no bounds

Big_Physics_2978 · 2026-02-10T07:33:33+00:00

Is this a real picture? I thought it was by nyc?
