Tri-Taylor/UIC

Spanning along the Eisenhower Expressway and Blue Line, the Tri-Taylor/UIC neighborhoods are connected by the Illinois Medical District, where the Rush, UIC, Stroger and Brown Medical Centers are settled. Surrounding the hospitals is a vibrant community full of tradition, fun and culture.

Historic row houses and new buildings flank both sides of the hospitals, with the east side being a bit livelier with the campus of UIC adjacent, while the west side seems a bit more quiet and subdued. However, no matter which side, the whole area is full of fun and activity.

Although the University of Illinois has assumed the responsibility and development of this neighborhood, Chicago history seeps through the streets. Within this neighborhood, Mrs. O’Leary’s cow kicked that famous lantern, the Haymarket Riots changed the work week forever, and Jane Addam’s altruism became the forefront of social work.
