Mr Downtown- Unfortunately, ensuring that no one will ever see it again.

Including me, I cannot find it on the forum database, am I blind?

I am also mostly a lurker and cannot figure how to make the quotes work correctly.

i've lobbied on many occasions to have moderators given the same powers so that we don't have to bug the admins every time a new thread needs tagging, but to no avail. this is the way the system is set-up at SSP, and we'll just have to wait until one of the admins adds the necessary tag.

I've solved this problem personally by ditching the Chicago view and just manually subscribing to every thread I'm interested in. Then, threads with new replies show up on my control panel (http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/usercp.php) It's a bit of up-front cost but it's the only way to keep up.

Am I the only one who just trolls this entire site? I just look at each of the main five subsections every day and check all the Chicago threads I see... Then I'll wander off into the discussion forums or whatever else if I am particularly bored.

That's exactly what I do.

But in the other forums people might talk about... other cities!

It looks like the Hyatt Place Hotel core is now on the 7th or 8th floor. That tiny 🞵🞵🞵🞵🞵🞵 is going up quick.

Chicago and LaSalle update:

State & Chestnut. 7/9/2014

^^ ^ Nice updates, both - thanks. Looking forward to seeing both of these nice towers rising into the Near North skyline by later this year....

Baronvonellis · #**15071** Posted **Jul 10, 2014, 4:13 PM**

At Chicago/Lasalle weren't there supposed to be townhomes on the side at the base? Or did those get axed?

They'll be on top of, not under, the parking structure.

Townhouses are on top of the podium; accessed from the 4th floor terrace and amenity deck.

As an area resident, I totally agree. The one at State & Chestnut should have a big impact on the area. I can already tell from being there everyday. It also looks like the podium section of the tower is topped out as they haven't added any new floors in 1.5 weeks, but there's been new floors of the main section added in that time.

They should auction off, or hold competitions for public art on Chicago and LaSalle's slab of a 🞵🞵🞵🞵. Proceeds could go towards a pothole repair fund for that intersection. I'm just thinking outside the box because that thing is atrocious, tower's gonna be nice though.

Rizzo · #**15077** Posted **Jul 11, 2014, 4:09 AM**

^ Agree, it's like they didn't even try. It would have to be some remarkable piece of art because even nice materials won't help it. Reminds me of that tower at the end of Bellevue Pl with the brick turd base and suburban townhomes on top where the guy plays that obnoxious bagpipe.

anyone have new pics of the catalyst?

Skyguy_7 · #**15079** Posted **Jul 11, 2014, 2:25 PM**

Here she is:

38 floors, SCB designed. Pretty much what we expected. I like the facade, though it would look better at half the width and twice the height..
