Thanks, I took that maybe 2 weeks ago. You can clearly see Trump Tower peaking up in the background too.

Oh yeah, with the cranes poking up. That must have been one of the last nights the fountain was running.

yeah there was some promotion that night for a TV show and they were lighting up the fountain in all red and spotlights. I wish I had more time out there but did manage to get a few good ones. I'll be posting them all eventually.

Is this your site? what was your idea for it? just chatting about Chicago? thats good enough for me, I can talk Chicago all day.

Yes, chatting about the Windy City in general.. it originally came out of
New-Eastside.com
so there is still a very downtown resident bent to the site (see restaurants for instance).

I am trying to get the Calendar fleshed out.. also you can see there is some Bears commentary in the Events section, I should probably make that a separate Sports section.

The proposed move of the Chicago Children's Museum to Grant Park has been the major topic in the Chat section, probably every press or blog posting about the issues is linked to from the Chat section so it serves as a pretty good summary for anyone interested in the topic.

A friend said he was shooting a weekly photo of the Spire and Aqua buildings as they are going up, that's where the Photos section originally came from...

The site actually gets a lot of traffic but not that many people stop to register and participate, so maybe if you can post some interesting things or bring up topics other people will join in..

By the way, I've been to the McDonald's and the store in the first floor of your building, many many times. :-)

sounds good. I see you've been a member for almost 2 years now! I'll be happy to post my pictures and news whenever I see it. I'd like to up the membership too and get more talking about the city. We know there sure is plenty to discuss. This city is booming right now!

HA - you got me, but the two years is mis-leading... it was originally a little viewed and sort of hidden forum running simple software under new-eastside.com, we just launched or re-launched the forum as windychat less than two months ago :-)

As windychat.com we hope to get something going.. lots of promotional ideas in the works but word of mouth is definitely the best thing...

Eric

Just curious about your handle cbotnyse - Chicago Board of Trade / New York Stock Exchange. ?

Do you work in trading or how do people say it?

Eric
