Note the building in the middle of the photography with the blue letters at the top.  This is the Prudential building and was

the tallest building in Chicago until the early 1970's.  Note how many buildings tower above this building now. 


The Sears Tower is on the far right.  Many new Condominiums are being built here along Michigan Avenue and along the waterfront 

 


The red boat is a tour boat.  Many sailboats are in the distance.
