Printers Row
Today
As mentioned at the beginning of this
article, Florists' Review was birthed in
offi ces in a building at 508 South Dearborn
Street, on Chicago's Printers Row, which
was the printing and publishing hub of
the Midwest at the time.
Today, Printers Row is an up-and-coming
neighborhood in downtown Chicago
(South Loop), having morphed into a
mostly residential neighborhood in recent
years. Most of the area's remaining original
buildings have been converted into unique
residential condos and lofts—and, of course,
there are also new high-rise condominium
buildings sprinkled throughout. e quieter
but lively tree-lined streets are now home
to several bookshops ( fi ttingly); Dearborn
Station, a former passenger train station
with an iconic clock tower ; trendy bars
and restaurants; and retail shops—as well
as schools from K-12.
e Printers Row neighborhood is situated
between West Ida B. Wells Drive ( formerly
Congress Parkway) on the north and Polk
Street on the south, and between Plymouth
Court on the east and the Chicago River
on the west.
