For one reason or another it just didn't do it for me. It didn't feel Chicago to me and I'm fairly confident in my opinion that it did the site no justice. I think if we wait it out, we can get something better.

I have to agree. It was an interesting design for sure, but it kind of looked like an over sized sunglass case. This site still has potential for something nice to go on it, so time will tell.
