River North *is* a historically white and affluent neighborhood...it includes Michigan Avenue and Streeterville. It’s turning into a no-go zone, thanks to incompetent ideologues in city and county office. The troublemakers don’t live there, they come up from the south side via the Red Line, and have turned the Mag Mile into “Muggers’ Mile”.
The stories coming out of River North and the Loop are reminiscent of the slow collapse of the city’s west side in the 1960s.
Well, without the Loop, River North and Streeterville, there ain’t much left in Chicago. Glad I never bought a condo when I lived there.
