and I almost fell on the ground laughing when you tried to compare Chicagos ugly neighborhoods to New York.
Silly fool there are no and will need be any equivalents to Upper East Side, UWS (no Lincoln Park doesn't compare LOL ) Especially downtown neighborhoods like Tribeca, the Village, NoHo, SoHo..etc No no no.

I just think it's funny that you had to bring this building up in comparison with Aqua. It makes sense, though, because this building looks just like an elaborated, messy version of the Chicago tower. It's like somebody asked Frank Gehry, "Hey, we like Aqua. Can you rip that off and design us one here in New York?" Gehry replied, "Sure, but I'm warning you: ain't nothing like the real thing, baby."
Chicago's best neighborhoods aren't even as nice as North Booklyn ones.. and they might as wow be Arkansas compared to Manhattans.
Did you mean to write, "Might as well," but didn't know the proper word to use? Ooh, boy. I think we should probably end this conversation before one of us embarrasses himself.
Jacksonian, are you an architect? You sounded like one.
Perhaps. In a recent thread-- maybe it was this one (too tired/busy to look it up)... Jacksonian made a relevant remark about his time in architectural school and his class visiting Chi., Boston and Phil., as a basis for studying architecture (they did not visit NYC). He was also rueing the fact that he lives in the South and wished he could live in the North. I may be putting words in his mouth, but that's what I came away with.
Um, the Beekman is far more popular an better looking than Aqua. Aqua is beyond boring unless youre standing under it.
The Beekman is a masterpiece from a beter architect.
You "might as wow" stop talking now. It would be "beter" for all of us.
"Aqua building chicago" gets 287,000 results on Google. "Beekman place new york" gets 86,900... so I'm sure. Which one is better known and "far more popular?"
