How's everyone doing this morning?

Just a few looted shops near me in South Loop, could have been way worse all things considered.

River North is really bad. There were sirens and gunshots all night long. Almost every store and restaurant on Clark is looted. Binny’s is looted. Every bank is looted. The Whole Foods is looted. But there are also lots of people on the street cleaning and helping out. People with brooms and trash bags everywhere. It’s just sad all around.

I was at the protests yesterday. I feel disheartened by the sheer amount of ignorance and defensiveness I’m seeing online from my white peers.

I live at the roosevelt station loft (lofts above the shopping store) . Every shop was looted. They started with jewelry shop first. Came in nice cars and filled them up! Wouldn’t consider silent protestor by any means and tbh really furious on what it turned out to be

Live at RCL too and those people definitely weren’t protestors, just greedy opportunists. Residents were yelling from balconies and some people even poured water on the looters to try and get them to go away but they had their fill till the cops arrived an hour later. Saddest part is that a couple of those stores are genuine small businesses.

Was the south loop trader joes looted?

Yes it was

Where are u in SL? I walked to get coffee and every other store looted/destroyed

Yep I’m near Roosevelt/Clark. Shit was hit HARD. Hearing gunshots and sirens throughout the night. Terrifying

Lake shore drives is closed and almost all the bridges are up.

River North got smashed up.

I live in the Loop, all the stores around my apartment building were hit.

Lots of broken glass in the Gold Coast

Hi Fish
I saw a post about people looking for rental deals in Chicago.

My building is offering a promotion for anyone that's referred from a current resident. I get a discount credit on rent and you would get one month free, plus a $400 rental credit, plus a $500 Amazon gift card.

There's no move/out fees and rent varies from ~1600 to 2,000 depending if you want a studio, one-bed, or two-bed.

Lakeview Boystown area, new building with ceiling to floor windows.

If you're interested DM me!
