FYI on CLA's Holiday Hub in the Loop

It may be warm today, but you can bet your knit hat, temperatures in Evanston will soon drop wit the winter season—most likely when you're running around doing errands, buying gifts or checking out the latest play in Chicago. 

Fortunately, Chicago Loop Alliance (CLA) is offering Holiday Hub—a temporary cozy cottage, open on the Pedway level of Block Thirty Seven, 108 N. State Street, Nov. 18-Dec. 24, 2013, from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday-Saturday and 11 a.m.-5 p.m. each Sunday (closed on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 28). 

The Holiday Hub features free family-friendly activities including a story corner, arts and crafts, an information center, complimentary hot beverages and pop-up programming from Chicago institutions.

Just in time for the holidays, CLA also launches its new LoopChicago.com website on Nov. 18 to serve as a digital information center on downtown destinations, restaurants and retailers, as well as offer festive Loop Lists—itineraries for different winter activities. The portal for all things holiday in the Loop is LoopChicago.com/Holidays.

Among the festive Loop Lists on the new LoopChicago.com site will be an exclusive list of Macy’s holiday tips, curated by the retailer, with insider information such as how to navigate the busy shopping center and the best times to visit Santa. Additional Loop Lists will be themed around itineraries that fit the following categories: free, family-friendly, theater, shopping and dining.
