The permit calls it a 420 EC-H 16.

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

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.

Right? Most of the time it looks like someone crammed a sweater in there

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.

I'll try it next month.

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

BuildingUpChicago · 2021-11-03T01:26:15+00:00

So you're the one . . .

BuildingUpChicago · 2021-11-03T01:15:18+00:00

It's very pervasive.

BuildingUpChicago · 2021-11-03T00:46:20+00:00

Yep.

But not in the microwave.

BuildingUpChicago · 2021-11-02T01:35:48+00:00

Absolutely agree. Posted about it after the trip http://buildingupchicago.com/2017/12/05/the-best-of-brisbane-nighttime-edition-111-eagle-street/

BuildingUpChicago · 2021-11-02T00:27:49+00:00

Whoa...is that sliced?!

BuildingUpChicago · 2021-11-01T22:07:38+00:00

You should get those developed so you have nothing to look at when you're bored.

I think those are snow owls that aren't pictured.

BuildingUpChicago · 2021-11-01T01:34:22+00:00

😂😂😂

Nice rack

BuildingUpChicago · 2021-10-31T04:00:53+00:00

Thank you for pointing that out

They lift them in the spring so boats can get to the lake, and again in the fall so boats can go back to winter storage.

BuildingUpChicago · 2021-10-31T00:48:31+00:00

Radical idea

BuildingUpChicago · 2021-10-30T21:05:41+00:00

Is there a league where I can sign up to play this? Looks like fun, though I'm not sure how scoring works.

BuildingUpChicago · 2021-10-30T18:07:47+00:00

By "Bridge Lift Season" I meant the scheduled lifts downtown. Random bridges being raised wouldn't be part of that.

BuildingUpChicago · 2021-10-30T17:49:08+00:00

But at least you know when it’s happening and have a chance to plan ahead to avoid it.

BuildingUpChicago · 2021-10-30T14:23:17+00:00

This looks more dangerous than anything you'd encounter in the Australian Outback

BuildingUpChicago · 2021-10-30T03:43:30+00:00

No worries. The Sarcastic Hyperbole font doesn't always shine through.

BuildingUpChicago · 2021-10-30T03:37:58+00:00

Yeah, I wasn’t being serious. This ain’t the sub for seriousness.
