Chicago's next great public space officially opened over the weekend.
The 606, a connected series of parks with the overhead rails-to-trails project known as the Bloomingdale Trail, will connect diverse neighborhoods from Logan Square and Humboldt Park to Wicker Park and Bucktown.
Running along an abandoned railroad bed along Bloomingdale Avenue, the trail has caused new interest in housing and in real estate development along its entire length.
Check out photos from opening on Curbed here and DNAinfo here.

The building's 34 floors will include 392 residences.
