Chicago: Historical and Entertaining

Sears TowerIn August of 1970 the construction of the Sears tower began. This photo is of the beams at the very beginning. Who would have ever thought that these just plain beams would have ended up in the 1730 foot tall Sears Tower, in May of 1973.

This, the photo to the left, is a view looking down from the sky deck at the Sears Tower. The photo to the right is of the new addition known as the ledge. You are standing in a glass enclosure that is 1353 feet up from the ground and extends approximately 4 feet out the side of the tower, giving a phenomenal view of the city.

Bubba Gump’s Restaurant A popular food place in Chicago, at Navy Pier. Notice the red sign on the table. It states “Stop, Forrest Stop”. The opposite side states, “Run Forrest Run” on green. This is a fun way to get the attention of your server, if attention is needed.
