From Boom to Bubble Running Tour with Dr. Rachel Weber

Join UIC professor Rachel Weber for an easy-paced (~11:00 min/mile), 3-mile point-to-point run through three sub-markets of the Loop inspired by Dr. Rachel Weber’s award-winning book, From Boom to Bubble. Along the way, she will describe the financial origins of some of the Loop’s most famous skyscrapers as well as the relocation of the city’s premier office district from LaSalle Street to Wacker Drive to Fulton Market. She will discuss the struggles faced by downtowns in the wake of Covid.
