Lower Wacker
January 21, 2008
/lo er wak ur/ n. 1. Once a frigid and filthy harbor for the down-and-out, but now a fenced-off, wrought-iron labyrinth. An unwelcoming home for the unwelcome. 2. A threatened, worst-case-scenario destination. "You keep it up, you'll end up living on Lower Wacker." 3. An underground shortcut through the city. Elwood Blues: "This is definitely Lower Wacker Drive. If my estimations are correct, we should be very close to the Honorable Richard J. Daley Plaza."
