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 see a tower and I want it painted black
No colors anymore, I want them to turn black

^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!

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

JK, I love this building., think that lobby bar is gonna be awesome! that one random vent does bug me though.

.....Hello, I have been in Mexico for the last 5 months and not really following....could I ask when is the scheduled completion date? ...and when will people start moving in ? ...assuming they can move in before the building is totally finished.

I guess I just don’t like the chunkiness of the lower portion. If it were only the two taller sections, it’s beautifully sleek and powerful. I like to put my thumb over that “short” portion and imagine what it could’ve been.
Still, it’s pretty cool.

I am in awe... great shots guys

^^^^Palm olive is a gem. Kinda wish in was fronting Mich. ave. along grant park but wouldn't trade it for anything when I'm driving south on LSD at night.

who else thinks this needs to be a permanent tribute?

[KWillChicago]

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.

It was just about too small to see
But I watched it way too long
It was pulling me down"
