Marina City (1959-1964) built by Bertrand Goldberg Associates, is
40 storeys of wedge shaped apartments above 20 levels of parking.
I think of “The Hunter” starring Steve McQueen or more recently Wilco.

On the other side of Instruments of Torture and Hollywood Parties -
There is simply – a State of Bliss. Am I the only one who’s freaked by this?

Chicago’s Tribune Tower (1923 -1925) by John Mead Howells,
Raymond M. Hood, Associated Architects,
was modelled on the Tour de Beurre (Butter Tower) of
Notre Dame Cathedral in Rouen, France.
It was named the ‘Butter Tower,” because if you wanted to eat
butter during Lent; You paid the Cathedral,
and the money went towards the construction of the Tower.

Centraal Station stairway in Amsterdam; Uitgang is Dutch for exit,
which is one of six languages on the signage:
Exit, Ausgang, Sortie, Uscita and Salida.

In honor of Mister Mike Dailey’s marriage,
Saturday began with the the fellas running around
and shooting some hoops up at the Windy City Fieldhouse,
being late, I only caught the 4th quarter,
(the only quarter worth watching) {jk} -
but took some pics nonetheless.

In the afternoon a BBQ with fully square burgers and
some authentic red hots made grubbing perfect.
I didn’t have the courage for the “Hired Trolly with 20 guys Pub Crawl”
but I think everyone made it back alive.

Love and Blessings to Dailey and all the Trolly Posse.

With the number four pick in the NFL Draft
the Chicago Bears select Cedric Benson.

Wellington to Dunedin -
New Zealand’s airports are more impressive than most commissioned parks.
