Thanks, and great shot!

They have been doing some pretty intensive filming for the tv show "Boss" on site. They have been utilizing a lot of the old, vacated spaces from the old buildings, but all of the exterior shots of the new building. Makes sense to me!

From today

^^ For those unfamiliar with the show, the main character Tom Kane (Kelsey Grammer) is the mayor of Chicago and suffers from an uncurable brain disease, which is probably why they need the hospital.

I think wrab compared it to King Lear, which seems apt.

Between this and ER, the Illinois Medical District is probably one of the most-filmed hospitals in the world, right up there with Bellevue.

And for those unfamiliar with Kelsey Grammer, he's the massive douche who unceremoniously dumped Camillle after ten years of marriage when he impregnated some younger but less attractive blonde thing.

Great pics. I've abstained from commenting on this for a while because everyone else seems so positive. Sometimes I see it and it excites me, but sometimes it looks clunky and awkward...
