We have the best skyline in America, probably the third best on Earth. So what is your favorite building in the Loop?
Other than the one you work, but you can mention it if you want.

Mine is Prudential Two. Or its official name, Two Prudential Plaza. I love how sharp it is, its color, its design, the lighting at night, its height, its location, its inside. It looks like an upgraded Chysler Building.

My second is the Sears Tower.
Anything after these is a far away third. I really like these two.

The one I work in, the Marquette. Because it's dimly lit and doesn't give me a migraine when I walk into the lobby.

Hancock Building's my favorite. Bold, dramatic, dark, with a cool light on top. I also like the curving green glass building along the river at Wacker.

I like UIC's 29 story University Hall, it's so ugly it scares away potential students who have romantic notions about what an undergraduate education is all about.

Otherewise I like 333 Wacker, the curved one that presaged all the curved buildings built since.

I haven't had a chance to see Aqua with mine own eyes yet, but I'm pretty sure I'll like it.

Smurfit-Stone and perhaps the Carbon and Carbine building on Michigan
