Re: Sears Tower Getting Ready to put Antenna Back

Now that's not true.
In the view roofviewto NW.jpg you can see the northwest side of the city. For those that know Chicago, the left diagonal street is Milwaukee Ave. and yes it goes all the way to Milwaukee.
The center diagonal is Elston Ave. which starts and ends at Milwaukee. It is a good alternative when the Kennedy Expressway is backed up. The Kennedy is the faint gash that runs under Milwaukee and then between Milwaukee and Elston.
The third street is Clybourn. It ends at what used to be RiverView Amusement Park, at Belmont and Western.
In the Roofviewtoohare.jpg the airport is at the top center of the frame where all the light is. Those that know Chicago, the diagonal street is Grand Ave. In the lower frame it is running nearly east and west and goes all the way to the lake. Then it jogs NW for a while and keeps going right out of the city west. Grand eventually runs into Lake Street in Northlake and becomes US 20 headed for Rockford. The dark strip that runs across the frame just short of the airport is the Forest Preserve that runs on both sides of the DesPlaines River. Anybody flying in from the east to O'Hare flys over the Preserve just before touchdown.
