Hello, new member here. Quick question, does anyone know what is going on with the West antenna? I was downtown yesterday and I couldn't help but notice the fiberglass cladding around the top portion of it has been removed (looks rather bare without it). Does anyone know the reason for this? I remember about 11-12 years ago when they replaced the East antenna, and I know that the West antenna is essentially the last remaining completely original antenna (at least between the JHC and the Sears Tower), so I don't know if they are planning to update this one as well now.

I don't know for sure about Big John, but on Willis recently they took down and upgraded one of the antennas, so I imagine similar is being undertaken here too.
I'm sure some forumer more knowledgable on the matter can give more detailed information. |

My favorite details are of the cor-ten steel plates dripping rust on the windows. Even Louis the fifteenth would have liked that.

Ok, I stumbled onto this on YouTube. From the description, it seems they are removing the top portion of the West Antenna. Not too sure what the plans are to replace it...

i also like how the dude below him has a smoke dangling from his lips the whole time. i would have thought that would be a no-no on a job like that. |
The height looks like a view you would see out of a Burj Khalifa window, and the roof looked a long way down.
Although for the workers sake I hoped they made sure in advance that there would be no thunder and lightning. |
Its crazy that this building is almost 50 years old. It will always be one of my favorites. While growing up in Batavia we used to go downtown and I remember standing in aww of this building when I was in maybe 1st grade.

Fuck these name changes, I refuse to call the Sears tower by any other name and I sure as hell ain't calling the JHC anything different either.
Does Chicago have no pride? Anything is open to the highest bidder? |
