Columbia College and the School of the Art Institute bring many young artists and students to the South Loop. Chicago's Museum Campus is the cultural anchor of the neighborhood and attracts an abundance of tourists and culture-seekers to see the world famous Field Museum & Shedd Aquarium almost every day of the year.
Transportation in the South Loop
is a snap, with access to Metra, the El Blue, Red, Green and Orange
Lines, and CTA buses on many major streets. The South Loop also has
I-90 on its western edge and I-41 along the lake shore.
