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.

The Homing Pigeon of State Street
Two months ago I moved out of Marina City to head for a quieter life beyond downtown. But there's something to be said for living at the center of it all. I'm learning the grass isn't any greener outside the Loop--and the roaches sure do put up a fight.

Earlier this month during a raucous late-night party at Marina City, one resident forcibly ejected from his apartment a woman naked from the waist down. The woman proceeded to knock on doors around and around the circular hallway, crying and begging for help until building security and the Chicago Police Department arrived....

Okay, an envy-inducing view to be sure. Still, though, I don’t feel *too* bad for you. I wouldn’t mind living in one of the corncobs, though I don’t know how I’d feel about having the House of Blues (and its noisy concertgoers) as my next door neighbor.
Jasmine, additional reason to envy my neighbor, Matt: you can’t hear the House of Blues crowd from his apartment tier. Grr…
Sorry.
That’s OK. I’m still higher
that actually made me ‘lol’
