This Is Marina City (Part 2 of 2)

"To the disappointment of many a pessimistic sidewalk superintendant..." haha, the shade and the sass in that sentence.

I find the balconies quite frightening with or without the railings. The construction scenes of workers putting in the glazing, a few steps the wrong direction would be deadly. Fascinating buildings then and interesting now. Another scary aspect is the parking, the wire barriers and the cars backed into the spaces. My understanding is that the parking for the homeowners is valet only.

I agree with you!

very nice documentary about these beautifull buildings!!

This is so awesome! I was a kid when the Towers were built. I always thought they looked like two ears of corn, lol. (That was my kid's eye view. 😁)

[@dannydougin3925]

That was common in Chicago .... these were called the Corn Cobs.

Thank You for this video - I wish that there was something similar for all great residential buildings. (For example, is there one for River City?)

Years before John Hancock Center, the Willis Tower and the AON Center created the modern Chicago skyline with additions in the next 50 years

That slapback echo is from magnetic tape.

А почему такая тревожная музыка сопровождает этот ролик? От этой музыки такое впечатление, что на Чикаго надвигается нечто страшное
