The South Loop used to be a rather desolate place, but Columbia College, DePaul University, Roosevelt University, and Jones College Prep have changed brighten the area. With all those students, there is plenty of cheap eats and urban funk. There is even a hostel, offering cheap and clean rooms--J. Ira & Nicki Harris Family Hotel, which is also known as Hi Chicago.

Once it opens, the Starbucks may also offer some interesting opportunities, but that will depend on the depth of the outlet.
