The window wall definitely has more character without the Anti-aliasing!

I luv it.

Agreed. And from afar it will look extremely smooth (i think)

Thanks! That was the Wendella Lake and River Tour.

This doesn't really look like anything else going up right now does it?

The cheapest way to get a similar (though not as far away) photo is to take the water taxi between Navy Pier and Museum Campus. I don't think it runs in winter though...

True an all day pass all day is like 9 bucks

You can take it from Michigan ave to Chinatown all day back and forth if you want

I think the water taxi that goes to Chinatown and the one that goes to Museum Campus might be different companies, but I'm not sure (Wendella vs. Shoreline or something... too confusing).

Because of this post I think that someone changed the height of the thread and you shouldn't have....

The previous height was accurate...

You didn't subtract 7' 9" from the 1,198' height.

Just saying.

Remember it was 1,186' before and then it went to 1,191'.

Could've been my mistake. The 7' 9" part is hard to see, what does it refer to?

Splitting hairs in any case I guess

Cleaning the windows is going to be very interesting.

Most likely a basket with rubber wheels facing the building and some suction cups. I can't wait to see them install the rig and get these windows sparkling
