here's stuff I scanned
                                             the shots of the endless blocks of midrise buildings in River North is always sad. |

A simpler time. These pictures ROCK. My god, the sight from the lake in this picture:
It's like a beautiful painting. I didn't know Marina Towers had antennas on them...
