I have seen this video before but thanks for providing an opportunity to watch it again. When I worked in the West Loop, usually once a week I would take lunch at Cellars Market in the lower level of this building. I really enjoyed being able to walk into the building lobby, take a few seconds to admire the Art Deco features and then descend the steps to the food court. One of the best scenes downtown will always be the one facing south down LaSalle Street with an unobstructed view of this magnificent building.
