yay... medicore sandwiches!

"At least a half-dozen major projects are in the pipeline for the neighborhood, including three upscale apartment buildings." a half dozen? I'm not sure we are aware of any besides this, the park ave one, and the hospital? edit: just remembered the affordable housing on the lehman lot. any...

chicago was already narrowed near the metrodome. pretty sure its almost the same as it was

oh... well then my bad

this thing is definitely bigger than i thought it would be

did they add a story? the article says 13 but i remember it being 12...

post a pic of your view!

I tried to bike down chicago and was told to go pretty much half way around the stadium...

I suppose it depends on the final quality, etc, but the rendering just looks like a flat surface with metal panels.

oh wow that one's ugly!

Has anyone ridden down/up Third Avenue downtown now that the majority of the street has been repainted?

not enough posts. I wouldn't call it a protected bike lane tbh. I've encountered cars parked/standing in it multiple times.

My favorite are the people who take advantage of the fact that the person with the green light is waiting to enter the intersection until space is available, by turning right on red into the space as soon as it opens up. Or even worse is when someone in an adjacent lane blocks the intersection, the...

Angled inner corners - interesting...

I like it. privacy. My boyfriend used to live in Stadium View, and it was really weird being able to look out the window at the corner directly into someone else's big living room window

I NEVER block an intersection, but I have been known to be a dick by driving in front of intersection-blockers once my light turns green, to avoid letting them pull forward and block me further.

I wish the balcony walls were a darker color on the corner (perhaps the same red as elsewhere on the project) to emphasize the weirdly shaped facade in front of the balconies, but overall not too bad... so glad the NIMBYs didn't kill it!!
