Bad Ass! I love murals, and I love the trend going on right now of painting over all these dull blank walls. This is the highest one I've seen so far, which is great. I also think murals are a good solution to all the (necessary evil) parking podia around town. More please.
Fantastic updates!!! Cook County Hospital looks spectacular already and can't wait to see it completed. To think they almost tore it down several times is scary.
I still don't understand why the top window glass panes are different than the lower two levels.
The exterior of this building is so jumbled it's like they pulled what style glazing and details would go on a given part of the structure randomly out of a hat. Probably the biggest worst thing done on Fulton so far.
Places like McKinley Park and Brighton Park for example on the Orange Line are still affordable. Will some people getting priced out currently who are looking to move soon look to some of these seemingly overlooked areas?
I am extremely bullish about Orange Line neighborhoods. In real estate, the huge money is made of course when areas are just on the cusp of transformation. Huge sums will be made on bets placed over the next few years from Chinatown all the way to Clearing. McKinley Park is maybe the epicenter. Phenomenally strong fundamentals.
So much TOD potential as well.
