Chicago's downtown at least feels like it's coming back. I'm not sure how, I guess a higher percentage of people back in the office compared to a city like SF.

Chicago's downtown at least feels like it's coming back. I'm not sure how, I guess a higher percentage of people back in the office compared to a city like SF. My company barely uses our office now but I used it most of last week and surprisingly the mornings felt "normal", there's lines during lunch rush, there were packed bars during happy hour. It honestly felt bustling for the first time in close to three years. It's not back to pre-pandemic levels, but perhaps getting there.
