May 18, 200520 yr I work across Van Buren from the Board of Trade at One Financial Place. It's the building you go under on Congress that says: "Chicago Stock Exchange." In our court yard we have three flag poles usually flying the US flag, the Illinois state flag and the city of Chicago flag. Right now they are flying the US flag, the state flag and... A SOX FLAG!
