When I was in Chicago back in the summer of 2008, this tower was only 1/3 the way done, Id love to go back and see it and Trump now.

Pictures from my visit that I posted on here a long time ago.








Man, when I visited Chicago then, that summer was like the golden age of SSP, everything was happening then, the Chicago Spire wasnt dead yet, every city had tons of new towers proposed or under construction, it was just a hope filled place, then bam, it all went to the shitter quite quickly.

I remember all the Chicago threads then, you had The Chicago Spire, Legacy, Museum Park 1 and 2, BCBS expansion, eleysian, Trump, Aqua, and then that other 1000 some odd foot tower which is now just a parking garage podium, what was its name? Oh and then, there was the Mandarin Hotel, what ever happened to that one? Guess it died along with a bunch of other awesome approved towers.
