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.)

Marina City Taps Run Dry Once More, New Water Pumps to Blame
You West Tower residents, you think you're so high and mighty, laughing and lording it over us East Tower folks just because we've been the ones stuck with most of the fires, floods, and water pressure poop-outs lately. Well chuckle no more, you ne'er-do-well neighbors. It's your turn now, do you hear? It's your turn!

Envy Thy Neighbor
Recently finding out a Facebook friend is a neighbor at Marina City, it was only a matter of time before I came over to check out the view. Oh, envy. Oh, West Tower, why must you mock me so? Watch the video and see what I mean.

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.
