I wonder if this is still around


what a great close up. It's going to make a really cool banner. 

these would make very cool posters


October 1963. "Cars in parking garage at base of Marina Towers high-rise apartment building, Chicago." 35mm acetate negative from photos for the Look magazine assignment "Living on the Top.

In the Steve McQueen movie "The Hunter" There's a car chase through the parking garage and a car goes off the 17th floor into the Chicago River

    Well according to the video you posted in the second web address, It's still there. I can see where Hanna Barbra got some of the building ideas for it's cartoon The Jetsons. Now this brings up another question. If this amazing structure went up in 1963, and is still there, why was Wright so berated by Gordon Strong and his Sugar Loaf Mountain design?
