Speaking of Architecture in Chicago


Built to blend in and stand out. 



The new landmark Apple Store in Chicago.  A three story glass cube, with rounded corners, that cascades from Michigan Avenue down to the River.  It fits in, looks like it belongs there, and blows your socks off when you see it.  You can look through it, and miss it or see it.  A wonderful example of how we can still design and build amazing structures in this country.  

 Have you seen it?

      My one and only visit to Billy Goat ended in a panic attack. I thought you were opposed to hate?

      I am, but crapple is an inanimate object that does not have a face/think/feelings. it's a phone, a computer, a watch. not human.

      awwww, poor sweet bear! :(

    Nope. The one and only time I was in Chicago was in 1976. This is not worth my jumping, I mean hobbling, onto a plane and visiting.
