This image was taken on State Street, looking east onto the marquee of the Chicago Theater in the Loop.
To get this perspective, I stood in the pedestrian walkway that's in the middle of State Street. This area of the street does not allow vehicles, but pease be mindful of where you're standing when you're photographing here.
By public transporation:
- Closest station: Lake (via Red Line)
- Exit the station and the theater will be on your right
