Yeah, I just wish it was bout 3-4 blocks West. At its currently location its just obtrusive. Its why I wish they would have just knocked off 15 stories instead of the conversion.

Well, black and brown brown hve dominated the skyline. Hopefully there are enough shades of blue and different textures to get some difference. What Chicago needs are more clear glass towers...everywhere. Frankly, as a whole, we've been lucky with the diversity of glass goin gup, but I do agree that 1SD, Legacy, and that other one (always forget its name) may look a bit similiar in teh cladding department.
