Trump Tower Cam
Seeing this massive structure in the works is just plain exciting to all of us at FlowFeel. While having a media hog like Trump attached to it makes people squirm with anguish, it also helps add to the hype. Trump knows how to pump his deals. But besides the d-list celeb names, this scraper is a big undertaking. It is going to add some more flare to an already impressive skyline. Projects like this can be a bit flamboyant (even without a Trump) but they also do their part in adding to the energetic urbanism of our metropolis. This endeavor being a lot of big biz and hype, we only hope that other upcoming projects, i.e. Block 37 will be more about style and substance. Still Trump tower rising is exciting!

Grant Park's newest message - "Skate or Die!"
It's no accident that Chicago skateboarders seek out downtown's granite and marble plazas: The ledges and steps clad with smooth, slick stone make excellent places to ride, glide and abuse their boards and bodies. Too bad it's illegal. But a new space is about to manifest. Just in time for the latest Lords of Dogtown flick.
