outside of a few little clumps in places like evanston, schaumburg, and oak park, suburban chicago generally doesn't
do highrises.
but we do have a big one that sticks out like a sore thumb on the pancake flat topography of chicagoland's seemingly infinite sprawltopia.
"how did something that tall and expensive get built in the relative middle of nowhere?"
