There's about three floors that are similar to a mall with multiple shopping areas and a food court. There is one sit down restaurant that has a huge bar and views over the river. If you're staying at the Holiday Inn downtown or the Voco downtown, there's a convenient walkway over the street so you don't even need to go outside. The food court has a huge variety of quick service restaurants: salads, barbecue, sushi, Chinese, sandwiches, and fried chicken. Multiple restaurants allow you to order food ahead and pick it up so you don't have to wait in long lines. Most of the building is office space so if you're here around 8 or 9 AM, lunchtime, or 4 to 6 PM, it's crazy busy. There are a couple entrances that have those rotating doors. My first morning here I was entering from the street level through one of those and a lady behind me came and pushed the door really fast. It was all I could do to step out the door without having to go around again. She then rushed by me and almost ran up the escalator. She must have been late for work compared to me, a wandering tourist. If you're in the area, check this place out.

It gets its name because it's next to the Kluczynski Federal Building, which deals with immigration and other things. A lot to see around here. There's also the Old Post Office. It basically is kind of like a town square but instead of grass there's a lot of concrete and granite. Of course it's not completely barren of plant life as there's a few shrubs and trees. There's a few important buildings that you may need to go to if you need documents or whatever. One is the Old Post Office. Though it no longer is a working post office, this is a historically significant place and is now used for office and retail. In the Federal Building is where you deal with customs and immigration. This is where to get passports. Also there's events and festivals. It has a farmers market that goes from spring to fall that features handmade crafts and locally grown produce. The Flamingo statue is the part that gets all the attention but the plaza itself has lots to see too.

Less is more! This is sort of the town square for Chicago,…read moreI guess. It's in the International Style, designed by famed architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe so that it's all black glass and steel, rectangles and straight lines, without a bunch of decorations or anything. Then in the center, you have the Alexander Calder statue, Flamingo, which is a bright pop of color in the center. It makes for a great place to sit and people watch and hang out in the shade on some of the public seating. It's kind of austere, and unwelcoming. It looks like it could be the center of Darth Vader's central offices for the bureaucratic side of running the Empire. There's three buildings that make up the Plaza- The Post Office which is a low flat building that matches all the others here. John C. Kluczynski Building that's known as the building where 'People go in, but don't come out' since it has Immigration and Customs Enforcement in here. Be weary if you need to go here to ask questions or 'get a document' or something. I don't know what happens at the third building, Everett McKinley Dirksen Building. The buildings all have the same motif- they have this rigid system of lines all running parallel or at even angles. You can find all kinds of spots where everything just aligns perfectly and makes a really cool scene with the black buildings and the Flamingo- it's absolutely worth checking out.

Having said that, it still does look still fairly new. I've only shopped at a few stores here but it's fine, like just about any mall. There are a few stores you can enter from the street and others you have to enter through the interior of the mall. There is parking on the street as well, which *can* be cheaper depending upon how long you're planning to be here. You have to pay for parking on the street for the duration of your stay, however long or short it may be; however, you can park in the garage and there's free parking for 90 minutes with validation. I don't know how validation works at all stores (perhaps you have to buy something), but at some of them they have a little machine where you can get validation. The biggest problem I had here was with the parking. The lot is far too compact. When I was driving in looking for a place to park, three cars were pulling in and out of spaces to center themselves because the driveway of the lot is too narrow to get a good approach. I'll admit it was annoying because it took several minutes--car 1 backs out and then back in, followed by cars two and three, and then they each do it again until they're in whilst I and anyone else behind me has to wait for them to finish their dance. When I was leaving, I had to wait while another couple cars did this too. This was pretty poor planning on the part of the builders.

I have worked within a couple miles of The Roosevelt Collection since it was built but haven't ever been here. There are a variety of shops and restaurants--children's stores; bargain stores; women's boutiques; even a pediatric dentist. The Container Store has a curbside pickup space. Though there is some parking on the upper level in front of the shops, there's a lot more parking below ground. Parking at both levels is paid. There's also a bus top nearby and the Red Line is only a couple blocks away. In the center portion between the shops and apartments on the sides, there's some gathering space. I saw some comfy looking chairs and stuff for people to hang out and there's a good sized play area for the little ones. It is not a bad little shopping area, but unless I was coming here for a shop that I couldn't find elsewhere I can find most of the other stores closer to me on the north side.

There was an orientation video we had to watch and once that was over, we were told we could move to the other side, which I did. Since I was going to be there for a while, I brought my laptop to get some work done. There are vending machines for snacks, drinks and coffee.

Growing up with four brothers, NO sisters and having my dad in the home EVERYTHING was male dominated. I had NO control over the activities. Sports this, sports that. TV shows included wrestling and boxing. So there was absolutely NO way Mr. Oscar De La Hoya was getting past me without a picture. Wait till my brothers see it. Just think, I was a bit disappointed to hear that a few of my favorite food trucks decided to park near Lollapalooza instead of showing up at Daley Plaza. I still enjoyed myself. My jerk lunch special; all white meat chicken on top of rice and beans, with cabbage, yams and bread, hit the spot in a really good way. I even had two of my girlfriends meet me and ran into a Yelp Elite. So, no complaints.
