Here's some photos I've taken the past month of holidays and fall in Chicago










It was even busy underneath the double decked streets






Now for some cell phone pics










At the base of the tower crane in this photo is / was the historic Farwell Building. It was awarded historic landmark status, and was demolished shortly later on the condition that the building be recreated with the exact same facade and materials. The old McGraw hill building did the same since the column grid didn't line up with the shopping mall developers want to create at the base. They tore it down and rebuilt it to look exactly the same, but have a different arrangement of beams and columns. It's almost impossible to tell the difference.
