    Well, Da Bears had the day off and the White Sox have the division wrapped up so I decided to take a Chicago Architectural boat tour.

    Here are some pix-

    Glad you liked 'em Andrea. :)

    I've lived here my whole life and this was the first time I've done a tour like this. It was pretty cool (minus the annoying dutch people behind me ;) )!

    Chicago is definitely one of the most diverse cities (architectually) that i've ever seen. And this tour was only of the buildings along the river.

    The new Trump Tower is just starting to be built.

    It's supposed to be done by 2008.

    I hear "trump tower" and always think is sounds like a euthanism for farting.
    Anyway, enough thread hijacking.

    Damn, that's just great! Probably one of the most notable structures to be built on this decade.

    The Trump Tower will be the second tallest building in Chicago.

    Back in the 90's there were plans to build "7 South Dearborn" which would have been the tallest building in the world. But the financing fell through and the property was foreclosed before construction was started.
