I was in Chicago briefly a few months ago for business and was playing with Loooong exposures with my digital camera - just re-found the shots and thought Y'all might enjoy
Nize Pics dare' AL, first one. The Tribune Tower, can also be seen in an old "B" movie that feature's giant Grasshoppers climbing that building. And home to the owners of the Chicago Cubs, WGN and of course that fine daily, DA Trib. Second One. The Allerton......very nice joint Third one. Marina City, featured in many fine films, they usually like to drive cars off the top of the spiral parking lot and have em' splash into the river. Occasionally happens for real too. Above the Boats Docked there in the shot is the restaurant "Smith & Wollensky" When you come to town, hit this place..the best. Fourth One. The photog appearently enjoying an acid flachback :eek2: Nice shots Alan, Next time when you come to town, you better let us know in advance. We'll take you to the best Pork Chop & Polish stand we know........ as long as the cops are present. D. :TU:
Normally when I get out to Chicago, I stay at the House of Blues hotel right behind these towers. Smith & Wollwnsky is a very good place to go! :TU:
I like the Westin myself....too many good restaurants in Chicago to pick just one.......love the "Back Room" (next to Jilly's on Rush) for music and atmosphere....... I LOVE Chicago......probably spend at least 6 weeks there every year....... I HATE Chicago.....gets me in WAY too much trouble! :spank:
Exactly where I stay as my chicago office is right across the river @ 1 East Whacker St. MMmmmm S&W's - NY office is right down the street from it also D&B - next time we'll paint your town Cortez Gold, this just wasn't the trip for it. Maybe we can play Frisbee in the park ?? :Brow: I think your City should force them to rename those towers the Jetson's
Sweet Home Chicago ! Cool pics Al ! I have a buddy who lives in one of the Marina Towers, good times. Michigan Ave is a nice cruise espcially at nite. I cruise the clone downtown. The people love it, they go crazy when they see a musclecar, thumbs up and all. :beer
