Marina City Roofdeck Walk
Living in Marina City may drive me up a wall a good portion of the time, but there’s one thing that always clears my mind: a walk along the 61st floor roofdeck. Oddly enough, a high-speed, thirty-second elevator ride from the lobby to 550 feet above ground level is the best way I know to stay grounded. Take a circular stroll with me around the 360-degree path with panoramic views of downtown Chicago and find out what truly keeps me in the corncobs.
(Video: When I need to get above the fray, it takes about 550 feet–straight up.)

It's a sad commentary on my social life when the highlight of the past week comes from sitting on the front patio of hoary Uptown gay bar Big Chicks on dollar burger night, doing Gweilo impressions of contact sheets from AsianPoses.com. On a Monday.

Amazing. I’ve often wondered what it’s like up there.
I think I’d be terrified yet thrilled at the same time.
Yikes!
Isn’t it kinda scary up there?? I mean don’t you get that queasy feeling in your stomach as you get closer to the edge of the roof?
But, what a view! Wow. And, what a beautiful Chicago afternoon. You’ve got quite a city there.
where’s the lawn furniture .. looks to easy to jump after a few cocktails
I really like the skyview of downtown Chgo, but no one could pay me to be up there.
I can’t believe they let you up there.
