Shots Around the Sloop: El Stop = ?

Anon 5:23 - good points as many of us live in the 'present', but this stop is about creating the 'future' development on those empty lots, etc.. Take a look at this guys picture of Roosevelt in 2000. There are no Museum Towers, no Columbian Building, no Trader Joes,etc...

    Nice and great points! I remember a time you didn't go south of Roosevelt Road. From the looks of this pic maybe it wasn't as long ago as I thought.

    Very cool! It would be nice to have the Metra Electric line converted into CTA...maybe asking for too much to soon!

    Don't even need to go back to 2000. Here is the same shot in 2005!

    I've lived in the Sloop long enough to remember when it looked like that. You didn't walk around this part of town after dark... No Jewel, Walgreens, TJ's etc...

    All the whiners need to get some perspective!

    Can Sloopin' (or some readers) post more shots from around the Sloop, circa ten years ago? I'm not from Chicago but I've heard how rapid the development has been here in the south loop.
