Not the first time I've made a mistake, and definitely not the last. So sorry...

 

I think it's the first time you've ever made a mistake.

I don't blame you, Steff. It's just that the "alternative" spelling kept getting perpetuated in subsequent posts....

 

(That, and no one got my Justin Speier reference)

That's because I usually hide them much better...

I should have just said the "Chicago Vibrator"

You thought of that too?

 

My, how many sick people we have on this Earth...!

Am I the only one pure and noble of heart and soul?

 

So alone. So alone. So alone.

That sounds like a finalist from the "name the Chicago WNBA franchise" contest.

No.. my thought was something worse..

My friend had the same thought, but I thought, for these purposes, "Vibrator" was about the same.

Wikipedia says there's a debate over what constitutes a vibrator and what constitutes...something else...

 

Are we allowed to use....the....D....word....?

Ugly.

 

I'd rather let other cities build all the spacey looking stuff and just have my classic Chicago skyline.

^^^^^^^^^

You are obviously not busy enough at work.

I love my job.

we will have a land mark that looks like a vibrator and one that looks like a bean

 

Chicago rules

Meat and One Veg?

 

Actually, I kinda like the bean. It doesn't mess up the skyline and it is a fitting anchor for the Art Institute end of Grant Park.

 

Jaded as I am about the Soldier Field renovation and the pending Vibrator, I admit that I really thunk they did a great job with Millenium Park.

I think I must be alone when I say I can't wait to see how the skyline looks with the new building. People don't like change at all, and that is evident when you think back to all of the major changes that have happened in Chicago, and all of the b****ing that went with them. Now nobody really remembers that, and instead is in awe of what we have. I am sure the Spire will be the sameway.

People seem to be forgetting the new Trump Tower skyscraper being built too. I personally can't wait to see the skyline when both buildings are completed.

Any schematics of that one? Where is it going?

Reminds me of London's 'Gherkin'.

Any schematics of that one? Where is it going?

I havent seen a model but its being built where The Sun-Times offices used to be on the Chicago River.

Any schematics of that one? Where is it going?

 

Like Rex said, right where the old Sun Times building was. 401 North Wabash. I'd say about 1/3 is completed.

Ah, ok. Between the two, it will definitely change the skyline.

I like the way that one looks a lot more than the Spire. That one looks like it will fit its surroundings, even as large as it is.

I think the Trump one looks much better. Different, yet also fits in with the surroundings.

The two buildings will really "fill in" the skyline we have today. I always kind of think of Chicago's current look with the Sears Tower and Hancock as bookends, and the rest of the city fitting in between. Trump will fall pretty well into the middle of the traditional Adler Planatarium portrait view. I think the Spire will be right on the end. It ought to look pretty sharp.
