GEMS glass looks perfect next to Vista.

Added this pic. Seems like the glass install is accelerating.

If you guys look at 6:37 on video it shows the blow through floors already there and lit up and this was published October 11 2017. Did we know about the blow through floors at that time?

If we did how come nobody noticed?

Wow this thing went up fairly quickly.

Intriguing video. Thanks for sharing.

I got a private tour of the top floor of 151 n franklin yesterday and wanted to share some of the views I saw. Here's one of Vista and an angle of the skyline I have never witnessed before.

Wow. Terrific video! Only 500 views, too bad.

Your link isn't showing for me (although now that I've quote replied you it's showing up). Is flickr blocked?

If any other people are having trouble viewing the picture, quote reply amoninu's post and you can see it. It's a very nice photo.

^ Your quote isn't showing either. To embed from flickr (and most hosting sites for that matter) you have to pick up the url from the share icon. Copying and pasting the url from the page directly won't work. It just references the page, you need the path to just the image.

Great pic, Amoninu! Welcome to the forum.

I was at Clybourn and Halsted yesterday and I as really surprised about how Vista dominated the skykine down Clybourn from North. This crummy cell phone pic understates how big it looks.

As much as I appreciate the stellar up-close photography that we are incredibly lucky to enjoy on this site, I have a soft spot for surprising vantage points or unique sightlines like this. Great perspective.
