After all the fear over the balcony railings. I find them rather unobtrusive and wholely appropriate.

Getting down to the home stretch now.

Could the soon-to-be garden above the ballroom be Chicago's most visible green roof?

I love the contrast of the horizontal twisty lines of Aqua and the Rigid vertical lines of Aon in Harry's picture!

That will be a freakin mazing if they keep the light coloring like that at night. It would be really cool though if the lights changed colors kinda keeping in touch with the wave theme of the building like I see they are doing. I hope they keep doing it.
