Except for those 4 buses that were broken down on Michigan Avenue yesterday, causing the usual traffic snarl.
And your 10.25% sales tax, highest in the nation.
And $4.49 for a gallon of gas.
It's been a quick whirlwind trip through the City of Big Shoulders. I've caught up with friends, visited the temporary office, and have liberated some stuff from storage. A good trip all in all.
While here, I took a few photos of the office building's lobby. Some of you might recall that they filmed the current Batman movie here last summer. They spent 4 months constructing a set in our lobby, filmed for one weekend, and then vanished. Why it took 4 months to build that set, I don't know. Still not sure why they picked this space, but it was fun to see the building in the film.
The space itself is in the mezzanine of the building; in the movie, it was a penthouse apartment. Where the Hyatt ballroom is, in the movie it was only skyline and stars. Bruce and Rachel walked onto the terrace to view the city skyline; I walked out to get the bus. Potato, potahto.
The scenes they filmed were the ones in Bruce's penthouse living area (the bedroom was filmed in a different building). The big fundraiser took place here. I can't find photos of the movie scenes to do exciting before and after shots. FYI, don't Google 'penthouse images' at work. Just a tip.
When Alfred and Rachel are talking, they're in this corner.
This picture shows one of these columns. Fascinating, no!?
