An unusual view of the buildings along the Magnificent Mile, LaSalle Street, etc. The Cabrini Green housing project used to stand in the spot from which I took this shot. Just imagine how valuable the land in the foreground would have been a few years ago.

This is actually a 16(!) image panorama of Clybourn Avenue as it heads into downtown Chicago past the remains of the Cabrini Green housing project. I think its cool that none of the people or vehicles were actually in these positions simultaneously since they all came from different shots seconds apart.

Due to the westward jog of Wabash Street, the Trump Tower dominates all views down the canyon.

Found one of my old photos of the tower under construction.

Actually the seminary closed several years ago and the building is now known as the Archbishop Quigley Center. I waited for several minutes at this spot hoping for someone to enter the scene. Finally a guy from the security staff walked through.

The quintessential Art Deco skyscraper. I can imagine Superman leaping into the air from the top of this building. The beacon was added in 1930, a year after construction, as a navigational aid for planes landing at Midway Airport. After about thirty years in hibernation, the beacon is now back in use. Note: the Palmolive Building was famously the Playboy Building for almost 35 years.
