Reblogged this on The Militant Negro™.
Love the architecture, very 1960’s! ❤️
Yes, this is the work of Bertrand Goldberg; you are correct about the era, John! http://bertrandgoldberg.org/projects/marina-city/ Cher xo

Wow … simply amazing!!
How great is this building? And why have I not yet been to your city? 😀
Hi Lana! This is one amazing city! Oh you must visit Chicago! It is literally one of the coolest cities I have even been to! I feel very fortunate to experience this incredible place! So come on over!! Cher xo
I have wanted to go for years!
Have you? That’s so cool!!
PS what camera do you use?
All the photos you see on my blog are from my phone! But that is about to change; I received a lovely Sony camera for Christmas, so I’m just getting the hang of it before I start taking pics for the blog! Cher xo
I still think that’d be the coolest place to live. I remember when they built it.
Oh I agree, John! Oh do you? I smile every time I walk past Marina Towers! Cher xo
Wow, that’s an awesome building – car park!!
Isn’t this cool, Erika? And they do not allow residents to park their own vehicles. They have valets that are trained to park them, going into their spots BACKWARDS. 🙂 You must come back to Chicago and explore lots more! Cher xo
This is too cool!! I definitely should and will for sure! I already love Chicago😄
These buildings have been in a number of movies. Well, lots of movies are filmed here and tv shows, but the actual structures have appeared in some interesting films. One had a car literally ‘falling’ from the parking area into the Chicago River below!
Wow, I have to look closer when there is a movie playing in Chicago!
This was for a car commercial (I guess an onlooker took it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTObK_MFLUM
OMG!! What a spectacle!! I hope they found that car again in the river!
Isn’t that crazy, Erika? Yes, I hope so too! LOL Cher xo
😅
🙂
Cool
Isn’t it just, Beth? Cher xo
Fascinating structures, and great photo, Cher.
Aren’t they something, Carol? Certainly an interesting landmark! I’ve sometimes said to visitors, “When you see the Corncob buildings, you are going in the right direction!” *biggest grin* Thank you, Carol! Cher xo
Only Beautiful! ♥
Aren’t they something, Billy Ray? Cher xo
