Points of interest
Starting behind McCormick Place, a huge exposition center that straddles Lake Shore Drive, Cermak Road heads west past Chinatown, over the south branch of the Chicago River, through a warehouse district, and past Benito Juarez Community Academy. At the corner of Cermak Road and Marshall Boulevard is the famous Apollo 2000 theater.[1] It leaves the city limits at Cicero Avenue and passes through the towns of Cicero, and Berwyn, Illinois, and suburbs to the west. At its intersection with 54th Avenue, there is an L station that is the end terminal for the Pink Line. At Harlem Avenue, there is a shopping center called Cermak Plaza. It was home to the former Spindle sculpture, a tall spike with eight cars stuck through it like a Shish Kebab.
