Old and modern skyscrapers rise into the sky over Chicago.

I rate the Chicago Trump Tower as a bombastic eyeshore, utterly out of proportion to the iconic buildings that are forced to keep it company. As seen from Randolph/Wabash Station.

From the angle at which the women is taking the selfie, the Bean is totally out of the shot. This is totally about her!

Loop

A crazy day at work yesterday. Not just the normal before a holiday madness. Abrupt endings, new beginnings; lax rules, firm directives; a new chapter. And I’m even more grateful to work where I work. Integrity is not old-fashioned, after all.

Completed in 1969, the 60 storey Chase Tower is located at 10 South Dearborn Street in Downtown Chicago. Standing at 850 feet, it is the 11th tallest building in the city and tallest located inside the railway loop. The plaza is located at the geographical centre of Chicago's Loop.

The building has had two name changes, first opened as "First National Plaza", then "Bank One Tower" prior to their merger with Chase Bank. The principal tenants are Chase Bank and Exelon Corporation.

The distinctive design, with a wider base curving upwards was the brainchild of C.F. Murphy Associates and Perkins/Will.
