I always liked this view seen by tourist, when on a boat tour down the Chicago River, then into Lake Michigan. This view though is from the Lake Shore Dr. Bridge above. Lake Michigan on the opposite view of this 360°. With a new super tall to come in the picture to change it again that is no box like the Chicago Trump Tower in the Middle of the picture originally to be the Tallest in the US but scaled back after the 9 11 attack. The 200 story Chicago Spire, that was canceled from the Economic Crash was to be in the empty lot on right. Something new there soon too.
But I'd say it has a DUBAI feel..... in the AMERICAN CITY of CHICAGO.
On an empty straight road? Gets old after a few minutes. Racing up to high speed is fun, after that.
