Chicago—as a Tourist A couple of shots of the Chicago River, the first showing the Wells Street Bridge, the Merchandise Mart (left), the Reid Murdoch Building (with clock), along with one of the two towers of Marina City and the St. Regis Chicago (by Jeanne Gang) in the distance. I'm mystified by all the L trains, and I believe the one pictured could be any one of several that make a trip around the loop—which is to the right in this image.
The second image has much the same but with the addition of the Linnea (architectural tours), and the La Salle Street Bridge.
The third image shows us the John Hancock Building, now known as 875 North Michigan Avenue (sure, whatever you say): a 100-story building finished in 1968. I was standing at the lake front at about Walton Place for that view.
