wow, I've lived in Chicago for over a year and haven't canvassed the city as much as you did in that one trip. One thing worth exploring is the Milwaukee Ave Corridor, and the culture of new-build, infill, "Dwell"ish modern boxes that get plugged into the gentrified/-fying neighborhoods like...

huh? not following Chicago = boston + 100 skyscrapers, an extra airport, a functional transit system, 18 miles of waterfront park, and a few million people

chicago's system hasn't seen a full winter yet, it just started in July.

in lieu of a spinoff thread.... i'm a 10 year boston resident recently turned chicagoan. I've been here 4 months (and occasionally still lurk on archboston, obviously). It is cheaper here, real estate especially; not quite as much as online cost of living calculators predicted, but i'd say...

It will be short lived-- it is privately owned open space. Like most new parks in this country.

so long as it doesn't conflict with others' "right to own property and profit from thereof" = zoning, environmental laws, permitting and regulation, and many other things Libertarians can't wrap their heads around

Seconded. If City Hall "wins" I will nominate the 2011 Archboston Awards for the 2012 Hall of Shame.

archportland.org? no offense, but i'd love to be able to filter out the non-boston topics from "new posts" when i look at it

maybe next year a runoff to get the nominees down to 7-10 finalists? or do it via tournament bracket? this list is way too long, and there is far too much decent but middling stuff.... it looks like a tourist's vacation photo set. We need to separate the wheat from the chaff here
