Near North Side

Our venture today, Near North Side.  A gentrified area of Chicago where Cabrini Green, an extreme example of public housing or "project", formerly stood. Just a few stops from downtown Chicago, or the Loop, the Near North Side, which at one time was the city's biggest manufacturing district, is now a ritzy, yuppy hangout for the beautiful people.  We took a little walk through the 2nd biggest Whole Foods in the world, which was slightly mind-blowing.   I haven't made up my mind as to whether or not it is a good thing or not, but I bet I will have an opinion as we get deeper into the city.
