Life in West Loop.
The West Loop turned its meatpacking and warehouse blocks into one of the city's busiest neighborhoods. Randolph Street's Restaurant Row and the Fulton Market District bring the dining, Greektown runs along Halsted, and Union and Ogilvie stations put Metra a walk away.
Mary Bartelme Park, with its gates and dog run, is the neighborhood park, and Skinner Park sits to the south.
