Chicago.

Great skyline, or THE greatest skyline.

10/10, and solidified in 5 years, after the new, glass talls are completed.

^ So many new impacts are going to be made in that amount of time. The skyline only gets better and better really. Chicago buildings as UrbanSophist so accurately describes them are really made to be on display, unobscured, delicately placed in this "mass of perfection". Chicago, quality...., very quality. Can't wait for aqua,waterview,trump,legacy,elysian, 300 Lasalle, the extension of the blue cross, Intercontinental, Mandarin Oriental:: So many great buildings to look forward to over there.

And another 10!

The skyline is superb, downtown chicago is just awesome. Great architecture for such a lovely city.

There's a book called "Above chicago" (can't remember the author, but there are great aerial views of the city).

A 3! Just kidding. But all the assholes who voted less than 3 (or even 7) are the biggest haters. Are you all crazy?!

I love the way the other mag Mile scrapers like Water Tower place and 900 Mich - good talls in their own right - seem to act as stepping stones up to the Hancock in this great pic.
