    WOW!!!

    Chicago, in '90, was going to build a WTC of their own featuring monster 184-story twin towers? I never even knew that!

    They were also going to build THIS; a Shanghai-WFC-look-alike tower without the hole (pictured below) as well, the Waldorf Asonia, but it got canceled because of the recent financial crisis.

    No, just one 150 story building (the 2 diagrams are from 2 different angles), though it went through 3 designs before being cancelled. The one I drew was the first one from SOM. Not sure where the 184 floor figure came from. Somebody f'ed with the database entry.

    Nearly the full length of the crane arms are now visible from my window. The crane cabs should appear above the roof tops any day now.
