  1. Someone needs to buy and renovate the men's hotel on Wilson if they expect this area to change. What's the point investing all these millions in the train station when you'll have all the same drug sales and buys that occur everyday stemming from that building. Once that building is renovated, all that loitering in front will disappear and then can people will see an improvement all along this new stretch of promising retail and restaurants.

  2. Is the perspective drawing illustrating the presence of wood? If so, are the architects nuts? Do they have any idea how long, given Chicago's weather, it will take for that wood to look absolutely like hell? That is, unless it receives constant, continuous, expensive care, which I seriously doubt it will.
