Return to the year 2000 and tell any random Chicago socialite trekking down Michigan Avenue that inside a mere few years time they'd often be trudging throughout a wide array of elegant eateries, niche boutiques, challenging art homes in addition to some of the most extremely tremendously sought-after land throughout of Cook County, and they'd most definitely guess that you're referring to River North, Gold Coast, or maybe even Lakeview.

Just a short decade previously, Chicago's South Loop neighborhood was regarded by just about all to be only the dusty, smudged industrial burial grounds of decades prior.

Yet, somewhere between then and now, we finally troubled to look round and discover that the South Loop's indispensable proximity to the centre of downtown Chicago, as well as shockingly cheap real-estate pricing, held spectacular potential for a successful and inspired social neighbourhood -- along with the blossoming businesses that come with it!

Go on to present-day 2011, and you may very well be hard-pressed to find out how the South Loop used to be ignored for several decades.

The neighborhood is now anything but outdated and empty; home to several of Chicago's most respected institutions (including Columbia College Chicago, DePaul University and the John Marshall School of Law, to name just a few), as well as the campuses of the Art Institute of Chicago, Field Museum, Adler Planetarium, and Shedd Aquarium, the neighborhood's streets simply teem with trendy locals and bright-eyed students. Add to that many of the city's hottest tourist attractions - such as the beautiful Millennium Park, historic Grant Park, and world-famous Soldier Field, home of the Chicago Bears - and you have the makings of one of the most culturally significant neighborhoods in Chicago, and possibly even in the country!
