    I love how the Trump Tower put a futuristic touch on the city. I hope they get the Spire building again soon..

    I've never ever seen Chicago's streets or highways so empty. What time and day did you take those pictures so the next time I go through I can go at that same time?

    I'm kind of a free agent for the first year, to see where I fit. But it's likely I'll be doing either employment or intellectual property (mostly trademarks) stuff.

    Hopefully I can make my way back to Chicago at some point though! This pictures are incredible.
