Under Construction

Ouch. Some time has gone by since my last blog. Bad news: yeah, some time has gone by since my last blog, and that's sad.
Good news: I'm back. My best friend Amanda and I caught up last Thursday, and in the process of doing so, we walked past this interesting residential building under construction on 58th Street at 11th Avenue.

 

It's hard to tell from this angle, but the building's shaped like a half-pyramid. Almost like the ones in Egypt, but without the slave labor.

One of many construction cranes in the area.

All the way up.

Aren't the sides kinda cool?

Sweet Home Chicago (if only!)

I got into Chicago at 2:30 this afternoon after a long Greyhound ride from Montreal to Detroit, and an even longer one from Detroit to Chicago. After checking into my hostel and eating lunch, I headed off to the Chicago Riverwalk, the Pritzker Pavilion, Maggie Daley Park and the nearby marina, trusty Android in hand.
