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.

Good to Know: Local Tips
Downtown CVS and Walgreens locations cluster every few blocks in the Loop; most handle prescriptions on weekdays with shorter weekend pharmacy-counter hours even when the front store is open late. For travelers, they're also the quickest stop for chargers, umbrellas and forgotten toiletries.
