One of the most well known casualties of the 2008 financial crisis, the Chicago Spire site has sat abandoned since 2008. What could have been the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere is now just a circular crater, and ideas are being floated around regarding what could be done with the site.

The latest is that the alderman wants a reduction in the base ( yay ), and the elimination of the hotel part.
