The West Loop features legendary locations, sensational shopping, and some of the city's most popular restaurants lining Randolph Street. But even just a short time ago, the neighborhood was a very different place.
"It's been here for a long time," author Connie Fairbanks said of the boutique.
Mary Bartelme was the first woman judge in Illinois, and a public park at Adams and Peoria streets honors her. But perhaps the most well-known pioneer in West Loop history is Oprah Winfrey. When she took a chance and opened Harpo Studios in 1990, four years after the debut of her popular talk show, the West Loop was still struggling.
But one iconic building that still stands is"The House that Michael Built." The United Center has hosted three of the Bulls six NBA championships, three Blackhawks Stanley Cup teams, multiple NCAA Tournament games, and next year will welcome the Democratic National Convention for the second time in its history.
Two years after the stadium opened, it put Chicago in the national spotlight by hosting the 1996 Democratic National Convention, and Mayor Richard M. Daley made sure Madison Street also shined.From that time to this, Madison Street has thrived; from businesses that have survived the pandemic to new construction popping up on corners.
