To each his own. I didn't think there was anything awesome about the original design except its height.

2. developers rushed
3. and now I'm sad

What 1950s parking garage are you talking about? This site had been a surface parking lot for as long as I can remember.

Maybe he's confusing it with the highly visible mid century garage (with the ugly neon PARKING sign overlooking the river) that was at 300 N LaSalle? Both these sites began development at the same time (2006ish).

The old surface lot did have a bit of Daliesque feel with it's angled and undulating cracked asphalt surface ;-)

This was at 300 N LaSalle - somewhere in that thread is a photo shopped image of the current tower with the old garage incorporated.

I certainly liked the first building better, the final product is so boring
