And now the latest from Curbed Chicago, covering everything you need to know about the city's neighborhoods and real estate.
THE LOOP—Explore part one of our three-part photographic voyage through seldom-mined architectural treats. Here, we visit the Motor Club Building to capture details of an Art Deco space about to undergo major restoration.

SOUTH LOOP—East-West University is jumping on the vertical-dorm bandwagon with the announcement of a new 17-story building at 825 S Wabash. Construction revs up soon with delivery by fall 2013.
