I suppose that's good news, though now people won't get to experience Bern's Steak House, which was a requirement for every test taker.
It looks like nearby Shula's steak house is permanently closed. Starbucks, Panera, and Petco are still open across the street in the strip mall.
I wouldn't feel safe on the miracle mile any more, particularly after school is out and the droves of south siders take the train north to harass businesses, tourists and pretty much anyone in their path.
Are you referring to the Magnificent Mile? What has happened there? Is it recent? Covid obviously killed my travel but I go to Chicago frequently and never really felt unsafe there.
every year there are gangs of bored south side youth that parade en mass through parks, along the streets, harassing people, getting in fights, occasionally looting. i have family there and they say it's to the point they wouldn't recommend even visiting in the summer, much less stay at a hotel anywhere near there.
Yup, no real reason for everyone to go to a single testing site when there's no oral examination. It should be no different than taking it at a commercial testing center for the USMLE.
