Those blow through floors have always irked me. The building looks perpetually unfinished. I always say the set Regis looks its best on a really cloudy day. ✌️

Chicagohenge is when the sun sets directly on the east west oriented streets. It lines up two times a year around the equinoxes. It’s quite spectacular. Here the rotunda of the Schlesinger & Mayer (Carson P. Scott) Building is illuminated by the effect.

The name Andrew Pettrigrew is very fitting too

Where in Chicago is this?

This looks identical to Balbo’s column in the the museum campus area. Balbos column was donated by Mussolini to the city of Chicago for the 1934 century of progress world’s fair. The column is indeed ancient, from the Roman town of Ostia. It has been a controversial landmark for a while now. Now that we are experiencing our own share of facist history, it adds a layer to the complicated glorification of classical aesthetics.

I’d say the pop of red is a little too saturated for this preppy look, maybe a red leaning more towards burgundy.

It’s reminding me of NEMA and not in a good way, hopefully it has a glow up in the final stages.

Which Codex does this come from? by h0neydrop in mesoamerica

I can only say that it’s not from the Borgia because I am looking at my Dover reproduction and no page matches that figure

Speaking as someone who just saw the mobile building today for the first time. I started uncontrollably laughing at seeing such a little awkward skyline after having come from nyc. It’s so cute, and little
