I think it would have been amazing.

Kelleher might have pulled it off without the recession. He's no fool. He'd sold the top unit to Ty Warner for $40 million.

The banks stopped lending the kind of money needed to build a project like this to anyone under any circumstances in 08.

But, that being said, Trump had always said, "It will never get built."

A Fitzcaradlo story for Chicago for sure.

In any event it had far more potential to get built than the current imaginary plans for the old post office.

Yep. I think it looks grossly out of place.

It looked like a sex toy, glad it got the axe.
