3D map of Chicago

Chris84 · September 22nd, 2004, 11:12 PM

I seen awhile back a 3d map of chicago and its buildings. I think the map is around 1995. I was wondering if anyone had the map?

Whoa! I saw that map at a shop at the base of the Sears Tower a while back. When I went back a year later they were out and I haven't seen it since. It's nice to know I didn't imagine the thing.

Those maps are flawed. . . what's with the superflous building next to Quaker Tower along Kinzie??? Oh yeah. . . they /were/ going to build it. . . but never got around to it. . . no problem. . . just put it in the map! Oh and what's with the roof height for AT&T Corporate Center looking just as tall as the Hancock center??? Oh yeah. . . this must have been done before people understood the concept of measuring heights to the "spire" or "pinnacle". . . fuck it. . . just scale it up anyways. . . noone will notice. . .

^ Not sure of the date, but it is missing the Blue Cross/Blue Shield Bldg. on Randolph, completed in 1997. It also shows buildings on Block 37 which were taken down at the end of the 80's, yet it does have the Main Library completed in the early 90's... Hmmm..... Something isn't right.
