A journey through the architecture and urban landscape of Chicago – from industrial zones to Mid-Century suburbs and all points between. The Mutilation of the Esquire. June 16, 2014. The Esquire Theater was a 1936 Moderne beauty at 58 Oak Street, just off the Magnificent Mile. Ultra-modern for its time, it retained its sleek, clean looks up into the present day. Considering the incredible elegance. Would be some high-end shopping! Lynn Becker wasn’t as kind as I was. This entry was posted in Art Moderne.

Chicago Urbanist: Driving and the Generation Gap
http://chicagourbanist.blogspot.com/2012/07/driving-and-generation-gap.html
Examining Chicagoland one brick at a time. Wednesday, July 25, 2012. Driving and the Generation Gap. It is no secret that there is a a decline in driving. In America. From December 2011:. Americans have been driving fewer miles every month since March, a decline fueled by factors ranging from the weak economy to high gas prices to aging boomers and teens driving less. Is this decline a long term trend or a short term aberration? While some pundits make the case. We can also challenge the idea that aging ...
A brief visit
http://celiahercity.com/2014/10/14/brief-visit
ONE WOMAN'S CHICAGO. Oct 14, 2014. About a year ago, I saw a kingfisher at the North Pond for the first and only time. I managed to get a photograph, though rather a silly one as bird photographs go. The bird is very small and unrealistic looking, the limitless sky somehow making it look more dinky than it really was. The tiny image is still powerful and real, a souvenir of the moment when the bird perched on the branch, and the day was radiant with the colors of autumn. You've already liked this. Celia ...
Chicago Urbanist: The suburban partnership
http://chicagourbanist.blogspot.com/2014/04/the-suburban-partnership.html
Examining Chicagoland one brick at a time. Wednesday, April 16, 2014. For several years, some aldermen in Chicago have bloviated about imposing a commuter tax on suburbanites who work in the city. You can see its roots in 2011. When it was proposed by city Inspector General Joseph Ferguson and praised by several aldermen and opposed by the mayor. It was ressurected in 2013. With support from alderman Bob Fioretti. And this acrimony has played itself out in public policy. Look at how little cooperatio...

Examining Chicagoland one brick at a time. Friday, August 9, 2013. Well, perhaps the word crisis is too strong? But still, Chicago isn't building enough new buildings fast enough. Oh sure, there are new buildings going up. But not enough. Just check out this graph of construction [via Matt Yglesias. Growth in Chicago’s startup community has led to a very tight market for appropriate office space, particularly in the River North neighborhood, according to a new report by CBRE. For the past few years the W...

Examining Chicagoland one brick at a time. Tuesday, September 2, 2014. The Downtown living era. The latest news comes from Cleveland. Downtown development is taking off. And people are flocking to the center of Cleveland, a city once derided as the "mistake on the Lake". Detroit, despite bankruptcy and depopulation in the periphery, is seeing a replete core.

Examining Chicagoland one brick at a time. Thursday, September 22, 2011. Chicago and Detroit: comparing interurban rail. Recently metropolitan Detroit proposed a plan.

Examining Chicagoland one brick at a time. Wednesday, February 12, 2014. The shifting tides of Chicago transit. The Chicago Transit Authority's ridership numbers came out a few weeks ago, and the numbers look good on first glance. Stepping back and looking at the RTA's numbers. This presents a real puzzle. Does the decline of bus ridership and rise of rail ridership reflect a changing taste in RTA patrons? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The shifting tides of Chicago transit.

Chicago Urbanist: July 2014

Examining Chicagoland one brick at a time. Monday, July 14, 2014. Following the housing problem. I previously covered the housing crunch facing big cities. The problem is starting to become widespread. Indeed we are already seeing it now. Younger adults are buying homes infrequently. Just 36% of Americans under the age of 35 own a home, according to the Census Bureau. That's down from 42% in 2007 and the lowest level since 1982, when the agency began tracking homeownership by age. We see younger adults w...
