Monday, from an unmistakably green Metra window. The Tribune Freedom Center, if not completely gone by now, probably will be by the end of the week.

A couple-of-weeks-old construction update at 400 Lake Shore. The Spire cofferdam is long gone, and this is starting to look like a building instead of a construction site buildingupchicago.com/2024/10/27/a...

I forget about this app until I see someone tweet their handle. I drop by today and my new notifications go back more than a month. Should I apologize? Anyway, here's an Obama Center Museum Tower update: buildingupchicago.com/2024/11/11/u...

My "mist" joke was pre-empted by "Ball's" instead of Bally's" and we regret the error. Deeply. I will now forget I'm on BlueSky for another month or so...

A very quick hitter here. 732 West Randolph is a new 8-story office building attached to the 6-story building next door. It looks good in this spot, PLUS it put a tower crane in the sky. That's a building that cares. http://buildingupchicago.com/2023/08/20/darn-near-done-732-west-randolph-edition/

Hello, Bluesky. Allow myself to intruduce......myself. I take construction photos in and around Chicago. Sometimes I even edit and post them, too. http://buildingupchicago.com/2023/08/20/633-south-lasalle-at-long-last-puts-up-a-tower-crane-and-rises-out-of-the-ground/
