Why say "people" when I'm the only one who commented?

Anyway, I didn't realize bars were exempt from scrutiny.

They aren't. I actually think it is looking good now; with all the appropriate fittings. Should be an interesting spot in the summer when all the windows are open at night. Vey Miami-esque.

This is going to have great views of the Chase Building and plaza, as well as the Inland Steel Building.

Why do you say that? Haven't you stated your opinion on this website before about certain buildings?

And their other locations are well detailed, why was the ground level botched in Chicago? Obviously from the older renders, they were well on track for a great design. What happened, budget fall short?

^ I guess, but I've never really gotten worked up over a badly designed bar.

Can we agree it's better than the empty lot it replaced? Attrition of parking lots makes my heart sing.

Nobody was. You made a snarky comment implying that people here really cared that much. We only posted some opinions for the sake of commentary. No one is losing sleep over it.

You've been on this site long enough to know this shouldn't be explained.

How silly. A bar is just as much a part of the streetscape as any other building. Also: what Hayward said.

Crane being delivered this morning to Amli Lofts, Clark & Polk. That seems curious since they haven't yet done any foundation work.

That requires much site prep BEFORE the crane arrives - remember the Spire ?
Block 37 ?

I think it was a joke.

Maybe the crane is coming from another jobsite and it was easier to just bring it to the AMLI site than to return it to the yard.
