The Neighborhood: The Chicago Loop
The Loop is Chicago's beating heart — the elevated trains that give the district its name rattle overhead past century-old skyscrapers, LaSalle Street's canyon of banks, State Street's flagship stores and the Theatre District's glowing marquees. By day it hums with office workers; by evening the riverfront, Millennium Park and dozens of restaurants keep it alive.

Loop bank branches generally keep weekday hours of roughly 9am–5pm, with limited or no weekend service — but ATMs in the area are plentiful and most banks' apps handle deposits. The Financial District's density means a competitor's branch is rarely more than two blocks away.
