I think Chicago is still in the top tier when it comes to architectural design/height/creativity...I mean you guys see whats going up in cities like Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, LA? Same ol stuff. Lots of the towers in the West Loop going up are pretty damn unique.

But today, I think New York is easily the architectural leader of America. For a variety of reasons, but yeah.

Anyway, I agree with what Spyro is saying. If some international firm gave the city billions of dollars to develop this "manufacturing district" all that "wE neEd a dIvErSe eCoNoMy oN tHiS iSlAnD" bs would go out the window lmao. Just think Goose Island isn't reaching its best potential today, its not the 20th century where we turned our back from the river, its modern day and we need to utilize waterfront to its full capability imo.

But this is happening either way, so can't dwell on it too much. Just glad to see all the other development occurring around the area.
