^This view isn't seen often, but it's beautiful nevertheless. It's always refreshing to see photos of the Chicago skyline in which Sears/Willis does not dominate!

https://tallshipwindy.com/ - returning to Navy Pier Tuesday - tours should start soon.

[ correction they don't usually go that far north - but still great place for shots ]

That is US Gypsum's brilliant marketing move - all their wallboard has a distinctive bright green facing.

Always loved watching the ore boats unload at their Waukegan plant.

I dont see why they would do temporary lighting if they had to take it down later. Seems like a waste of money. Might be permanent.

Anybody have insight on when the construction lift/elevator is coming down?

It seems like it is taking forever to close this building up.
