Default 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 doubt you'd be looking at something on LSD from way over by Rush.

Sure it was not this church?? S Ashland Ave & W Harrison St, Chicago, Cook, Illinois 60607 - Google Maps

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

It is a Greek Orthodox Church. Many decades ago it was a Jewish Synagogue.

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

I don't think that was it....I was on the 8th floor looking past the United Center...daminit...I will take a pic of it tomorrow...the spires are higher that that church....maybe NNW would be better....its off in the distance...a few miles...
And since RUSH is Ashland/Harrison it can't be

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.

That is more likely it as the Church on Ashland does not have blue domes last time I looked. My mistake the first 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.
