no. as of the 30th, they are at the green line in this building, and the beam the guy was riding on the 31st was one of the first beams of the floor above the green line

Nice perspective with the Sears Tower behind it.

This is really going to enhance that northern portion of the river canyon. I wonder if the river cruise companies are excited about all these new riverfront highrise projects. I mean, if you think about it, without having to spend a penny rivercruise companies continue to give customers much more bang for the buck as all these new towers pop up.

I know I'm excited

all the other docents ask the status of projects on the river.

wow! that photo pretty much is the most awesome thing ever, I have never seen trump from that angle along with 300 N LaSalle. Great perspective!

^ Jstush, I have to hand it to you... a couple of your recent photographs (all quite nice) have thrown me for a second due to new perspectives. The skyline shots from the lake NE in particular had me confused - I honestly thought the slide was in the projector backwards for a second (TTC to the left of Hancock).

Thanks! I thought Legacy was gonna take away all my views, but that's the crane of legacy to the right there, and I'm assuming it's not gonna add a lateral extension anytime soon

Thanks, honte. means a lot from you. The 08/01 was the first time I've ever been out on lake michigan, and the view was just incredible the entire time. We went down as far as the the planetarium and north as far as... north avenue I believe. 3.5 hours on the lake with a beautiful city and more free Harpoon IPA than I could handle?
