editor Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Looks almost exactly like Chicago today, except for the Chicago Spire (the tall one in the middle) and a little infill in Lakeshore East (the area in the middle with the arched building).Disappointing.

wernicke Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I am just now hearing about the Chicago Spire... I can't believe it is a pure residential building at that height (2000 feet). Pretty dramatic addition to the skyline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editor Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 HAIF's sister site has a ton of information about the Chicago Spire. I'm about eight blocks away, so I update the photos when they warrant updating. Right now most of the work is still below grade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wernicke Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Pretty amazing building. I'm green with architectural envy.I wish something bold and modern would get built down here in H-town.editor, how do you like the weather up there? I'm applying to residency right now, and would love to wind up at U of Chicago or Northwestern... but I've only visited during the spring/summertime.

editor Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 editor, how do you like the weather up there? I'm applying to residency right now, and would love to wind up at U of Chicago or Northwestern... but I've only visited during the spring/summertime.We didn't have Summer this year. I heard it got to 90 a couple of times when I was away last week, but it's been a very cold, very wet summer. Today it's low 60's and overcast. Yesterday was the same, but with blowing sheets of rain. I like Chicago weather because I enjoy the autumn and spring. Winter is nice if you have the choice of staying inside as I do. But nothing sucks more than standing 30 feet up on an El platform watching the wind off the lake grow the icicles horizontally hoping you didn't miss the last train of the night.Oh, and hope for Northwestern instead of UofC. Vastly better neighborhood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
