Chicago has gotten a lot of national attention this year, but not for the reason we’d usually hope. Ray Delahanty of CityNerd, however, made a recent visit to check out what’s happening in the city and found that it was well and vibrant. Delahanty ticks through the L trains and the city districts near them, looking at walkability, bikeability, and affordability as well as the local mode share of L train usage. Enjoy the beauty of elevated rail in this one!
