In about 2001-2002, I lived at 1421 N Dearborn and worked in the Loop. Sometimes I'd take the 156/LaSalle bus, sometimes I'd just take a cab.
A memory taking the 156 is seeing a bunch of vintage cars parked in a lot that was the NW corner of LaSalle and Kinzie for the filming of Road to Perdition. Shortly after they were done, the apartment building there started construction.
And when talking a taxi home north on Dearborn, I have lots of memories of all the condo buildings that sprouted up between Kinzie and Huron. It was a super-exciting time to be in Chicago
