On the corner of Harlem and Cermak, there is the famed "CarTower" as seen in Wayne's World. I wish I woulda snapped some shots of that before I moved out.

The Sears Tower looks a bit soft to me. Is it? You must have closed it down a lot because the left side of the building is black — I assume because of the bright sky. If so, I would think you could have bumped up the shutter speed to get a tighter focus. No?

Silly art work, really. But interesting enough that I would look, I suppose. I guess that makes it art then. What do I know though...
