Had a late night tonight, attending a meeting of the American Society of Buisness Press Editors. The meeting was inconveniently (for me) located south of the Loop. But I am amazed to see the assorted new development, retail in the wake of condos and apartments, along those stretches of South Michigan, Wabash and Indiana -- all streets that as recently as the mid-90s were desolate urban wastelands. I keep track of this sort of thing professionally, and I'm still amazed. Maybe because I don't go there all that often.
