The annual Curbed Cup competition to select the neighborhood of the year commences today with West Loop facing off against Ukrainian Village in our bracket style tournament. Visit Curbed Chicago throughout the week as our real-estate-obsessed friends unroll two new polls each day. Each round of voting lasts just 24 hours, and the winner shall claim a year's worth of bragging rights in addition to a handsome trophy. [Curbed Chicago]
