Architectural River Cruise

by garridogal - last update: Aug 24, 2005

A Great Way to See Chicago's Buildings

Here's a dramatic shot of the Sears Tower. From this angle you can really tell how tall it is.

Tour Start

The tour starts near this point. The water spout in the background does stop as the boat approaches, luckily!

A Famous Spot

This and the Wrigley Building are, in my mind, the quintessential Chicago landmarks.
Here's a corner of the Wrigley Building and some other really ornate ones. I know we were told the names of all these buildings but I can't remember them all!

Corncobs

However, it's not too hard to remember the name of these! They're the Corncob Towers. However, I remember them from the Bob Newhart Show from the 70's! This is where he lived, isn't it??
Pass the butter, please

 I live in Boston, too, and the train goes to the airport. It's on the blue line.

 I loved the your Chicago page, I've been there 3 times, but all were business trips and I never left the hotel. Nice to see that there is more to Chicago than confrence rooms and elevators.
