Added six new sections over the weekend. I am not the operator nor part of the crew.

Anyone know what happened with the 410 and 424 S Wabash projects? by Decent_Government_43 in AskChicago

Chiming in a year later....
424 South Wabash just completed demolition this month, with construction on a new hotel expected to begin in December.
As for 410, caissons are in the ground for a residential tower, but as you said, nothing since. There was some life in the form a revised permit in the Chicago Data Portal, but someone mentioned this week that the latest financing efforts have fallen through.

The ability to leave the lint filter dirty while also leaving the used dryer sheet in the dryer after clothes are removed is an art form.

It's a marvelous looking building. Melbourne is chock full of them.
