This might be getting boring for some people, but I still am obsessed with the demolition of the Sun-Times building. Yesterday when I walked by, Wabash Avenue, the street in front of the building, was G O N E.
Also, it seems like the entire top story is almost all torn off now.

They can’t raze that building fast enough as far as I’m concerned. The Sun-Times has been a blight on the river ever since it was hastily put up. Even as a 4 year old kid when I first went down to Chicago from the suburbs, I was faintly embarassed by that ugly lego building among the Wrigley, Tribune, and Marina Towers.
Then when I got older and appreciated the differences between the tabloid-like Sun-Times and the respected Tribune newspapers, it made more sense to me.
Hey, Rachelle. Has the construction obstructed the Billy Goat Tavern down below?

I know this has nothing to do with the coming down of the ST Building, but I have always been curious to ask: Where did you get the pattern for the back ground design on your website? I love it!

I don’t think it is boring at all. I like your take on documentation of the destruction.
