EDIT: Is that 717 S Clark, with Wells St corridor to the upper left?

That's 717 S Clark from the North. The buildings on the right are the "Clark Corridor" (the buildings just North of the Target).

The leafy green buildings are the low-rise portion of Dearborn Park 1 and 2.

The buildings in the upper left South Loop high-rises south of Roosevelt, but missing the more distinctive ones...

It is 717 S Clark, and you're looking south. The green patch behind it is Dearborn Park.

In related news, they raised the crane this weekend. It is now at about the height of Burnham Pointe - or at least so it looks from my angle.

I'm not sure it this is the final height or if it needs one more lift.

800 W Fulton 10-21 A guy that works for case said they'll be there for about 2 more weeks drilling caissons.

Some crane activity can be seen. Forgive me, but I'm not sure if thats the Riverline development? Those cranes (red ones, two of them) in the foreground relative to Sears?

110 N Wacker can also be seen.

^^ The two luffers in the middle are for 176 Halsted. Not sure about the yellow hammerhead on the right

The Lurker · #**15852** Posted **Oct 23, 2019, 1:04 PM**

^318 N. Carpenter.

And if you look super close the crane for Fulton East (210 N. Peoria) is in front of the red ones

RedCorsair87 · #**15853** Posted **Oct 23, 2019, 3:10 PM**

As tall as 110 Wacker looks there, Sears is STILL more than twice as tall by antenna height. I hope someone builds a 1100-1200 footer nearby someday to give it some company.

Man this a cool ass picture I swear it looks like Gotham City but the fact that the sears tower is showing that I’m still king of this city now down to me. Great pic bro

You're not alone Chris, I've been having the same issue.

Keep posting though, the group appreciates your stuff.

Uh, hmm, dunno how/why you're photos are being edited - I was not aware this is an issue for forumers. Please don't let that deter you from posting. Even though some of our local forumers are a bit xenophobic/too Chicago-centric, the forum is for ALL folks to post to.
