Review content:
One of the greatest things you can do when you live in a big city or plan on visiting a big city is get the view of that city from on high. When the city in question is Chicago, you have a variety of choices. Many people know about the Sears Tower, which stands well over all other buildings in the city and once bore the label of World's Tallest Building. Sure, this is impressive, but for my money the best place to look over the City of Big Shoulders is in the John Hancock Observatory located near the top of the John Hancock building.
When you look at a skyline shot of Chicago you see three dominant buildings. The blocky Sears Tower is at the south end, the Aon Center building sits in the middle and way off to the north end is a building that seems to be growing to a point and is topped with two huge antennae. That is the Hancock building.
Just across the street is shopping in Water Tower place and Bloomingdales. The old Water Tower, one of the few surviving buildings of the Chicago Fire is there as well.
The cost is a little steep, but the view is just fantastic. It will literally take your breath away. The problem with the Sears Tower is not only that it is not on Michigan Avenue but it is so tall you feel almost too far away from the buildings. Here you get a great view of the lake and of the Magnificent Mile.
In recent years there has even been a renovation of the observatory and a skywalk added. I have not been to to skywalk and given the wind patterns of this city I can't imagine walking outside.
So, if you're in Chicago and you want to look down on the pedestrians and shoppers, visit the Hancock Building and save the Sears Tower for another trip.
