The word "park" is doing some heavy lifting here

This intersection is not good for walking or being a pedestrian.

Yes I concur

Great video. I’ve crossed here before, it sucks

no-go zones (hoods) mixed with dystopian "computer" industry hahahahaha what a joke of a country. Maybe help your people first before doing stuff like this

I love this channel! Makes me proud of the city

Your channel deserves a lot more attention!! I will like and share lol. 3 likes? Mine was the fourth. Will look for Daniel at Jazz clubs

The 1901 project has such potential if realized

The Apparel Center

If you are going to the north side, the Pulse Dempster line express bus can be a good option It goes to the ohare multi modal facility

What is "pretentious" about calling a thing by its mechanical type?

I worked a job I hated for over a year & I spent my 3 day weekends & PTO with family there. It's a complete distraction

#mangina comes to mind listening to this guy bitch about everything.

Fascinating. If ghosts exist they must be kind of pissed off about this.

Ah yes metra very fun I like metra

thats because nothing else is interesting

Much of the design was predicated on the areas use until the mid 70s. The entire area had been tracks and train yards for Dearborn station. The elevation of Roosevelt road was to go over the tracks. No roads ran east to west from Polk to Roosevelt because of the tracks. The elevation ramps for south bound traffic from Clark and westbound traffic from Roosevelt started at different locations when the neighborhood was developed and there was no stoplight on Clark between Polk and Roosevelt. All of this contributed to the area's design when built in the 70s.

Chicago athletic club lobby is beast mode 🤟😝

Before u make a cta video do a little bit more work of research because u made a terrible job

I was living in Oak Park and working in the Loop in the mid 80s. I remember the Presidential Towers going up. I toured them when they opened out of curiosity. Yeah nice but blah overall

Cool niche line, its whats makes train travel so cool

i dig the way 3 first national only showcases chicago windows. and it kinda looks like one of those studded belts youd get at hot topic when you were 15

My man is back 🤟😝

glad to see you back love the content!

American cities went down since the 50s when it gets to beauty and architecture

Isn't Ping Tom park in Chinatown?

Great list! River City's windows look like a bunch of teeth smiling at me. University Hall just looks ugly. The At&T Corporate Center is just interesting because it's mysterious (although I wouldn't want to be there at night). As you said, the Metropolitan Correctional Center is awesome and everyone's favorite! The last one, though? You're right. The vents creep the heck out of me! What the heck is that design! I don't even want to say its name!

Wicker Park is "Too Dark Park", that Skinny Puppy named their album for.

The last one makes me feel like I’m in a Bladerunner movie and I kinda like it

In the summer and fall, Chicago Water Taxi operates a route from Ogilve Station to Ping Tom Park. It's a great shortcut with interesting views of the City.

Thank you for warning people that CTA elevators are also homeless urinals. Consider bringing a couple bungee cords to secure your bike as well in the event you get a seat and there's a blank space to secure your bike. This is also Handy for Metra trains.

I'm surprised that you didn't mention River City. That place is a monstrosity!

Now how about putting it on the rack in front of the bus? 😅

Amtrak is looking to reopen the St. Charles Airline bridge. They say it will take 15 min off of trip’s heading South or East out of Chicago’s Union Station.

The last building actually isn’t that bad.

I love this video so much! In the 1st picture (0:24), it's hard to see the changes because of all the taller buildings that match the sky, so they just blend in, making it look like not much changed. At 1:37, the Bally's Casino used to be a dance club in the 2000's, the Thompson Center at 2:53 is either hated or loved. Me, it was different, but not really my taste. What's nice is that Google will keep the shape, but change the colors (more blue) when it is redone. 4:15 And, yes, the infamous and ugly Sun Time building. I hated it, but I loved how the IBM building stuck out behind it. I loved the IBM building so much! Granted, the Trump Tower eventually covered it, and I have a ton of pictures of it going up! Anyways, great video! Keep up the great work!

I lived in Chicago for a decade and never needed a car. Moving back in a year and planning on selling my car.

Chicago's version of suburban is really most other American places version of urban...even though this is by definition suburban development style

Thanks for educating us

also they don't really clear the sidewalks on Elston there, in the winter. it's so annoying to walk down that stretch when it's covered with snow.

Wikipedia says the B&OCT Bridge is still standing due to some of its operating gear being shared with the St Charlea Air Line Bridge, which is regularly used when there isnt maintenance on the line (which I believe has been the case for the last couple of years)

Love that area I’ve shot so many videos in those woods around the dirt bike ramps Fun fact, that area used to be part of Riverview. Which was once a massive theme park.

What I find annoying is there are no north south L lines west of downtown.

One of my favorites is " Paris of the Prairie" by Daniel Burnham

It's a big neighborhood for young families. Always see lots of parents walking with strollers.

I really love this

Your history is a little. The Yellow Line tracks were used by the North Shore Rail Line until in closed in about 1963. This line flourished in 40's and 50's with its Chicago-Milwaukee service.

The most common places I've noticed sharrows are where painted bike lanes give way to sharrows as I approach or proceed past intersections. My interpretation of them has always been "You may find yourself again in the most minimal form of a bike lane soon, but in the meantime you're on your own and good luck to you."

check you stats on residential Loop. its been a growing area over the decades

As someone who moved to Chicago but grew up in Champaign, I can attest that the rest of Illinois exists. I hate that people outside the Midwest assume I’m originally from Chicago when I say I’m from Illinois.
