Literacenter is located in the thriving West Loop, convenient to every kind of transportation and cuisine. In recent years, the West Loop has acquired a reputation as Chicago s best neighborhood for eating and drinking, and we know why: no other part of the city is so densely packed with critically acclaimed restaurants and bars. Described by many as the hottest part of town, our West Loop neighborhood is known for its transportation, food, drink, social venues, and startup spirit. We re making it famous for literacy too.
