The new hotel The Wit opens on State Street

This past Wednesday The Wit hotel opened on State Street. It is a pretty interesting design that is welcome over the construction debris and scaffolding. I have been watching its construction from my balcony at Marina City.




Govnor's pub, Kentucky Fried Chicken, and Dunkin Donuts are gone, but in its place we have three new restaurants. The previous was shut down and ultimately condemned because of instability in its top floor. The new building includes a pretty interesting rooftop restaurant with both an indoor & outdoor area. With really great views that include Marina Towers.
