Another view of 333 West Wacker in Chicago. The building is actually known for its color that nicely reflects the green water of the Chicago river. However, the scans I got back from the lab were screaming: desaturate me, my color is unbearable!

I drove to work (again) yesterday so that I could drive home after a post-work meeting with an attorney from Minneapolis. As we walked over to the restauraunt, I could smell steaks in the air. I couldn't stay for dinner; I had to be home around 7. At about 6:30, I walked back to the parking garage and put my ticket in the automated machine. The machine, which speaks in a creepy and obviously computer-generated voice (rather than a recorded one), informed me that my parking fee was "thirty six hundred fifty dollars." Yes, that's right. The screen confirmed it. I would have taken a picture of THAT except that I was too terrified to do anything but push the cancel button. I took my ticket out of that machine and put it in the neighboring one, and it told me that my parking fee was twenty dollars. Twenty dollars for ten hours of parking has never seemed like such a bargain.

The Chicago Marathon was last weekend. On Monday morning I was sitting at a red light when a group of pedestrians wearing marathon medallions around their necks crossed in front of me. I guess they noticed that the light was about to change, so they started to hurry. When they tried to pick up the the pace, they moved like stiff senior citizens. With very painful arthritis. I smiled at them, and the one who noticed me smiled back.

Those are my two little Chicago stories from this week. That Chicago River sure is pretty sometimes, isn't it?

Helmut Jahn's One South Wacker Drive Building and Pei Cobb Freed's Hyatt Center make for an intriguing architectural pattern.
