I think it's hard to look at something like the Tribune Tower and not be completely in awe. Like this is an unbelievable building. Look at those buttresses and you've got gargoyles hanging off of it.

It personally really resonates with me because one of the first projects I ever worked on was building Trump Chicago, which was this beautiful, elegant, super modern, all glass skyscraper right across the way. So it was right across the river. So I would look out the windows as it was under construction or be standing quite literally on rebar of the building looking out at the Tribune and
