Every big city has skyscrapers, but somehow Chicago shows them off better than most. I have no idea whether it's their density, their average height, their architectural diversity, or that they rise from an utterly flat landscape. Whatever the reason, the next few posts will be focused on buildings. Mainly pictures, since it takes more time and energy to actually write about them, let alone to do the appropriate homework.
The Wrigley Building was built in the early 1920s. It, along with the Tribune Building, mark Michigan Avenue, just north of the bridge over the Chicago River. The looming Trump Tower (next post) is a bit of a distraction, but it also provides a nice counterpoint to the older, more ornate buildings.
