It would be one of my ideal places to invest in land for the next boom, because it's equidistant between two transit lines, has a nice park to the north, a proposed park as part of the 2020 plan, and some decent development that is going up right now.

in 3 years they could call this ChiLaS the intersection of Chicago and LaSalle
but that would be lame, so lets throw up a project on lasalle halfway between the redline and brown line and call it MAROONed, because it'll still be surrounded by unrehabbed apartment buildings and a plethora of bad low density land useage .
