Halsted? As in boystown? Behold the new place to meet gay guys.
Boystown is 0.8 miles of a street that runs through a large portion of Chicago. I guess you're not familiar with the rest of the city....

No it doesn't. It sizes to contents. This is one of the things Windows switchers really struggle with. But this is entirely off topic here.
You can thank the stringent planning laws in the UK for the fact that it wasn't just more glass and concrete. Even so, Apple managed to gut the insides.
Nice find. But even after looking at that, I'm still kind of confused how it'll all work out. Are they tearing down and rebuilding it altogether? Where is the Apple store going to be located? And how does the park come into play/located? Like I said, I know the article (tried to) explain it but I'm still kind of confused.
The store is replacing an old BP station that has been fully torn down, with underground tanks excavated, etc. The space between where the store is going up and the L station isn't huge, but enough for a nice amount of greenery and several benches. The open space for the park is to the west of the store, east of the L station. The small size is a plus for wifi: the entire park should be within range of the Apple store's network.
Unfortunately the traffic is so heavy in this area I can't imagine it would be a pleasant place to chill. It's not even a fun place to walk around and shop. Four major thoroughfares all intersecting multiple times in one square block. Huge bottleneck - it's insanity. Better put on some noise isolating earphones!
NYC does this a lot. if you want a permit to build a new store they will make you fix up some of the surrounding area. there are more than a few subway stations where some of the maintenance is paid for by businesses.

By having a few lawyers present, you can turn corruption and bribery into a legitimate business deal with government. Call it "investment in our future" - not lobbying.
Oh, and if you are an oil or drug company, then you also need pointless prime-time commercials featuring menopausal women babbling about "caring" and "the earth".
A business can't fail this way.
