"Wacker Dr. Downtown Chicago"

Wacker Dr. Is full of history and one of the most busy streets in Downtown Chicago! Its the street that holds most of the corporate workers in the city. Its also where the tallest building in world, the Sears Tower is located. Wacker drive is where most of the taller buildings are located as well. Its a big part of the Chicago skyline. Its a great tourist location for people who just want to view the city and experience the busy downtown life. Its almost impossible to drive down Wacker during rush hours.

"Wacker Drive a great movie hotspot"

Wacker drive used for many movies through out history, including the blues brothers, known for being a multi level street and offering great views of the Chicago River. Provides great access to shopping, night life and the many great things Chicago has to offer. It is easy to get turned around and keep in mind the homeless often use lower Wacker as a resting place.

"unique location not too far out of the way."

Right on the Chicago River, this street is unusual in that it has an upper and lower level. Very unique for this city! There is a wonderful restaurant at 35 West Wacker drive called Catch 35, which serves the most outstanding seafood I have ever had! A great place to go for lunch or dinner, in a very unusual location.
