The City of Chicago and it's buildings:
(The marker for the McCormick Tribune Bridgehouse & Chicago River Museum.)
(Late morning on Michigan Ave in Downtown Chicago.)
(The building with the clock is the Wrigley Building. Construction began in 1920 as the headquarters for the chewing gum company.)
(Tribune Tower construction began in 1923 after the company held an international architectural competition for "the most beautiful office building in the world.")
(Chicago River is beautifully teal because the city is taking great care to keep the river clean.)
(Chicago Riverwalk)
(Passed the bridge is Merchandise Mart, which when opened in 1930 it was the largest building in the world at 4,000,000 square feet. This "city within a city" now houses many home furnishing and apparel showrooms.)
(The red building with the clock is the Reid Murdoch Building. The cylindrical buildings to the right were made famous by Belushi's movie.)
(Two of the few surviving buildings from the Chicago Fire of 1871 were the Water Works and Water Tower buildings.)
(Gothic Water Tower stands across the street - juxtaposed with modern constructs - beginning the Magnificent Mile.)
