If anyone's interested in seeing some pictures I took while in Chicago this past week, you 'll find them HERE. You can then go up to the top right to see them as a slideshow if you want (if you didn't notice my current signature ) I had a nice view of Trump's construction site right outside my 30th floor window:

Here's a picture, not of Grand Rapids, but of a new high-rise condo in "Streeterville" Chicago. It immediately made me think of River House because of the concrete construction, similar size, and height of River House:

Here are some sunset pics I took from one evening last week.

Guess where:

[andrew.w]

YMCA/Fitgerald? The cornice looks right and I think I can see the round-topped windows on the top floor.

An interesting angle and perspective.

Do have any idea how their unit reservations are going?
