We are conveniently located in the West Loop of Chicago
A former manufacturing corridor turned art-edgy neighborhood, the area is made up primarily of warehouses that are still in use or have been converted to loft condominiums, "loftominiums," restaurants, night clubs, a growing number of art galleries and some retail. It's also the home of Harpo Studios, owned by well known talk show host Oprah Winfrey, and the production site of her syndicated show. Chicago's Union Station, the city's only remaining intercity rail terminal, is a well known West Loop landmark.
