Was in Chicago this weekend. Got drunk, stumbled around. Weather was horridly overcast the entire time. I did spend a lot of time in northcentral, wrigleyville, lakeview, west lake view? old town and lincoln park, but no pics, i was tired and hungover and probably walked about ten miles in a day.

 

Okay bye.

 

Seriously, how can you have a chicago thread without the bean?

 

One of my first skycraper memories as a kid

 

BCBC of IL, pretty much socialized healthcare.

 

bean.........

 

no complaints about the old school

 

I heard from a cop on a Segway that its state law you have to take your picture in the bean

 

okay, the last one I swear. And no I don't think I do it better than anyone else, I just cant help....taking....pictures

 

we don't have cranes in cleveland, so I have to travel 6 hours west

 

old and new hanging out together

 

skycraper canyon-tastic

 

street wall facing out towards the lake

 

ditto

 

red, and still peculiar to this day.

 

up up and away!

 

sure, now I find the sign for the podcast type dealies

 

I couldn't bring myself to pony up the money for the observation deck (is it still open anyway?) with the weather being so poopy.

 

Like rio, except with more poles.

 

this building fades away like KOOW's sex life.

 

yeah, there she is again.

 

bump bump bump

 

blue #1

 

blue #2

 

bah

 

okay, more bumps, couldn't resist.

 

old style!

 

few more old beauts lying around.

 

mayor daley gave me the keys to the city.

 

honk honk

 

zoom zoom

 

i just love the collection of big modern glassies next to sears.

 

again.

 

and again

 

okay, I'm done.

 

i hear living in the loop really isn't that fun.

 

if i get crazy, i may end up working in this building.

 

somehow, this building looks neato with the scaffoling. I would keep it permanent and make it glass.

 

we may be getting a medical mart, but it will never compare to this beauty.

 

reaching upwards.

 

go back to schaumburg!

 

makes me think of cleveland.

 

see how crappy the clouds are?

 

meh.

 

everyone's favorite car park.

 

bridgey.

 

bye!

I say U can be the President

I'd rather be the Pope

Yeah, U can be the side effect

I'd rather be the dope

The Pope

 

^i was gonna save that until you went to minneapolis. heh.

 

nice thread, the last one is killer.

 

you may not have cranes in the cleve, but at least you got crane.

 

 

Y'all done good! :clap:

 

I was there Monday - Thursday. Monday was sunny & a bit too warm, if anything. Tuesday was sunny with breeze and just a few clouds, just about perfect. Wednesday started out overcast, windy and almost chilly, and steadily got worse. By evening it was damn cold. Thursday started out dreary and by the time I got back to Michigan City it was cold & rainy.

bah.

Damn clouds.

 

Still looks good, though.

Damn clouds.

yeah, all the polarizing filters in the world weren't going to help the situation.

 

thanks all!

Regardless of the flat light you still got good density and saturation, and the photos are crisp.

Sounds like several of my trips to Chicago.  My brother used to live in Lakeview. 

 

Thanks for taking the pictures that you did take.  I enjoyed the show.

Well done!  What's that bit about you maybe working in that building in Chicago... you thinking of moving?

Jennifer loved the photos; she wants to go to Chicago.  But alas, we are off to Burr Oak near McConnelsville.  I'll take some photos of Old Man's Cave and the McConnelsville Opera House for ya...

I was up in Chicago recently.

I love downtown, all the neo-gothic architecture is amazing(since its one of my favorite styles of architecture). Gorgeous structures, they should be there untill the end of time!

You're mistaken. Only one building comes close to mirroring my sexual prowess (the tall one in the middle):

Pope started the weekend on friday with an interview. that's all I'll say for now.

Hey, Rome was not erected in a day.

Where's the place Elliot Ness threw Frank Nitti off the building?

 

Cue the Morricone theme

^^ Koow you better get that thing checked out, it ain't right! Nice photos Pope.

^It is a tad swollen, isn't it.

cool cool

we don't have cranes in cleveland, so I have to travel 6 hours west

 

Well you could have also driven about 4 hours SW and seen the same thing.  :-D

I'm not sure what there's to see in mason........

Just look at that wonderful city.

 

Can't wait to be back in the Chi tomorrow

Chicago never dissapoints, even in crappy weather.

Man. I love that city. I want to be there so bad.

 

Thinking of moving there also .. who knows?

 

Bum bum bum...

Yeah, cool even with clouds.

I can't respect this thread since you didn't go to the Billy Goat Tavern.  Good day, Sir! Indeed!
