Great pics! I love Chicago and to me it has the perfect density and is never really claustrophobic like it can sometimes be here in the northeast (although that can have its charms too).

Though sadly it appears it has permanently closed (according to Yelp), presumably due to COVID.

The question is, is Chicago more urban than Toronto? What do you all think?

JK of course. Beautiful set.

What I was struck by viewing these is how fundamentally unchanged so many of the landmarks and views are as compared to the Chicago architecture photo book my uncle bought me as a gift in the mid-1980s. Back then Chicago was still the #2 skyscraper city in the world behind New York. The only challengers abroad were Hong Kong and Tokyo. Now skysrapers as tall or taller than the Hancock are going up like weeds all over the planet, but their ability to impress is diminished because there is typically no depth of style in those places. Is Dubai in 2020, which very well might have more skyscrapers at this point, more impressive than Chicago was in 1985? I'd argue no.
