Our first update:

Update:The Chicago Plan Commission has unanimously approved a proposal for a 51-storey office tower at 110 North Wacker Drive. Designed by Goettsch Partners for The Howard Hughes Corporation and Riverside Investment & Development, 110 North Wacker carries over the same development, design, and leasing team that collaborated on the recently completed 150 North Riverside project, and promises a similarly contemporary design replete with glass curtain wall and special amenity spaces.

A snow machine on a different day - "mister" being used to keep down the dust - One of the Heneghan guys explained that at $70k it's a lot cheaper than a dude with a hose.
