Re: Tour of the “Near Northside”
More like a tour of Midtown and Downtown with a few parks and insignificant buildings in the Near Northside. Better recheck the real article’s title again …. it was “A Tour on the Red Line TO the Near Northside”
And the supposed future star of Near Northside, the “mixed use” Hardy Yards, recently submitted their variance request for construction of a several-hundred unit apartment complex right next to the light rail station. Not only is it not mixed use, it’s the car-oriented apartment style you find in the ‘burbs, where more surface area is parking than building. Pretty much exact opposite of what they have been promising.
