Wabash Avenue is prime real estate in Chicago, or at least it should be. The Avenue bisects the Loop, but it doesn’t have the cache of Michigan Avenue or State Street. With the El tracks overhead, it’s a little darker, a little dingier, and a lot louder. In short, it needs some sprucing up if it’s going to be a tourist draw and a place where Chicagoans go for a stroll. This week, the Chicago Loop Alliance outlined its plans to revamp Wabash with more seating, new planters, murals and more. The group’s president and CEO Mike Edwards joins us in studio to talk about some of those ideas.
