Question
- As I was looking out my husbands window at RUSH I noticed off to the North-ish are a couple of tourquoise/blue domes with spires on the top of them...is that a church? I suppose I could go explore after I leave the Hosp but I am too tired and it's already dark...

I think you're thinking of 680 N Lakeshore Dr. I'm not sure who the building was originally constructed for, but now the main tenants are Northwestern Medical and Playboy.

I wonder how many comic mishaps have been caused by the Naughty Nurse costume. |

I have to agree with Chet that this must be the building. |

I thought Rush had another facility in Streeterville. Guess it's just northwestern.
Man.
Hope that ambulance driver asking for directions the other day made it back in time.

Well, the OB/GYN that delivered my daughter was located in that building. It's pretty weird to go to an OB/GYN while walking under a giant golden PLAYBOY sign in the lobby. It reminded me of those 80s comedy movies that always had the pervs going into gynecology--as if that were sexy or something. Yuck. |
