      Thank you, Don! The Kennedy family used to own the entire building! I heard someone mention that the Kennedy’s used to play football on the roof! I do believe there is a photo of this ‘out there’ somewhere! Cher xoxoxo

    Do those coloured lights move around the building, Cher? Or are they static? The reflection of the lights on the river is amazing. Is there a penthouse apartment at the top? If so, it’ll have stunning views.

      I found out that they are static! I think they should move around the building, though, Hugh! I love that reflection too! There aren’t any private residences in this huge building (businesses and offices). Oh yes, wouldn’t the view be something?

      Hugh, the Kennedy family (J.F.K) used to own this entire building. Apparently some of the family members used to play football (American) on the rooftop! I do believe there is a photo ‘out there’ on the web that shows this activity (or so I’m told)!

      Any time I’ve been in this building it is a hustle and bustle atmosphere, clearly matching it’s ‘big city’ vibe! Thank you, Hugh! Cher xoxoxo

        Can you imagine playing any kind of sport on that roof, Cher? Imagine if the ball went over the side, but I guess the Kennedys had high fences to stop that from happening.

        I can’t even imagine it, Hugh! I would be so nervous! I’ve been trying to find a photo of ‘the game’ but so far no luck. I’ll keep searching, though. Oh yes, I’m sure they must have had high fences! I daresay it wouldn’t be much of a game if a ball ended up in the Chicago River every 15 minutes! LOL Thank you, Hugh! Cher xoxoxo
