I’ve always wondered why they didn’t do that. I guess they didn’t want to break up the Michigan Avenue elevation with a weird angled section ( as much as I’d like the view of Carbide & Carbon preserved, I feel like that would look kind of awkward). We should at least be thankful that they didn’t plunk it right on the corner and obscure the view of C&C from the bridge completely. If I’m picturing it right in my head, you should still be able to get a glimpse of it from the Tribune/Pioneer Court side. I’m not in Chicago, so maybe one of you guys can tell me for sure.
