On Tuesday, November 27th, Mayor Rahm Emanuel joined Alderman Walter Burnett (27th Ward) and the West Loop Community Organization to cut the ribbon on the first phase of the Fulton Market Streetscape, a community-inspired modernization of the corridor that is Chicago’s first wholesale market and now is an incubator for the City’s thriving tech economy. As the first phase of the project wraps up from Halsted Avenue to Carpenter Street, the Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) announced it will launch work in the coming weeks on the second phase from Carpenter to Ogden Boulevard.

Officially launching his new firm earlier this year, architect Jo Palma has established the firm’s core studio in Chicago, with satellite offices in Miami and London. The practice, known as PALMA, follows the international concentration that has defined Palma’s expansive career. Gleaning knowledge and experience from its talented and diverse staff, PALMA uses the concept of Evolutionary Architecture to address design solutions that improve communities, enhance social wellbeing, and add value to projects of all scales.

West Loop Community Organization was proud to participate in today’s Ribbon Cutting Ceremony at Walgreens (1051 W. Randolph).

Using street food as inspiration, the West Loop’s Proxi celebrates global flavors and ingredients through a thoughtful American lens. Guided by traditions but not restrained by them, Proxi travels the world one boundary-blurring dish at a time. At Proxi, the world is Executive Chef Andrew Zimmerman’s oyster — literally and figuratively.

His menu freely wanders through Asia, India, the Middle East, and Mexico and beyond but feels completely at home in Chicago.
