Hey folks. New here. Love the content here on the best city in the US.

Just wanted to chime in with an opinion about the filling in of "the gap" at the river intersection....HUGE bummer if it were to happen. That "gap" is one of the best elements to the whole river, river walk, East Wacker corridor. The connection to the area beyond is not only symbolic of the cities roots as once flat prairie land, it also provides an enormous influx of late afternoon light. If you'd ever witnessed this area on a summer of fall evening as the sun falls to the horizon and seen the wonderful light that pours through this gap and onto the river, the river walk and the Wacker wall, you'd miss it when its gone. Cheers!

(Not sure if the image will copy here correctly)
I hear you and agree... Sorry I can't have an answer for your picture posting question.

Thanks for contributing and welcome to the forum.

Here is at least a link to it.

The horizontal white bands on this one make it easy to track the progress of the glass. So currently, from my vantage taking the Metra in, they have completed 6 white bands worth of glass.....6 out of 18. This thing is going to soar!!

Core looks to be just about even with WPS?

Been a busy week of shooting for me. Was atop WPE's upper-most level on Tuesday night shooting some views for the development team. Still have a lot to get through, but here's a peek

Looks like they're working on an irregular floor with extra tall columns. Amenity level?

Probably, they are right about where the notch in the design is:
