I'm just posting this to see if it works for me like it did for Simon. A few weekends ago, Bruce and DJ joined us for an architectural tour down the Chicago River. Here are a few photos. Hey cool! It does work!!  Wrigley Building (not to be confused with Wrigley Field)  View down the river.

Thanks, Simon.
"The Ledge" in the Willis Tower is an interesting item. It's on the 100th floor or so, and it is a glass box, around the size of an elevator, that STICKS OUT into space. You can actually look down through the floor at the ground below. That is, if you can force yourself to step out into the box in the first place. I haven't been up there since they installed it, but it reportedly creeps out a lot of people.

Architecture river is highly recommended for everyone who visit Chicago. A couple of years ago, I was in Chicago and did that tour with my family. It was a great trip. and by the way nice pictures.

Thanks! This was the Wendella tour that we were on. There is a Chicago Architecture Foundation river tour that I want to do next, as I'm sure it will appeal to the architecture geek in me.
