It's a monster of a crane. So monstrous, that when the work is finished for the day, the crane is in a resting position over Sheridan Road, where the end of the crane reaches the lobby of the Super 8 Motel across the street.
Yeah - all the way - on the other side of Sheridan road.
It's that big.

From the get-go,this "Pritzker Car Tower" project has been thorn in the neighbors side.
From the process of public meetings, where neighbors complained.
To the tearing down of a house, where the neighbors complained.
To the beginning of constrution, where the neighbors complained.
It's pretty simple. Neighbors aren't happy.
Seems the only happy people are Alderman Joe Moore, who has accepted butt-loads of campaign contributions from Republican Jennifer Pritzker, who is building the Car Tower as her legacy project. And Jennifer Pritzker, who has found a soul-mate in Alderman Moore, who's willing to forgo what the public thinks and grant Ms. Pritzker her every wish.
Money does that to people.

It is an impressive crane, too bad they aren't building a tall building there,
It will be cool to see the finished product. It will be cool to be able to park there and go to Quest Computers, or the Lighthouse Bar
Joe should really be more careful. Hanging on a crane may be fun but he is putting his life in jeopardy!
A Republican Pritzker? I wonder if that happened when he got transformed into a female.
Traffic is backed up to Pratt going North because of all the cement trucks blocking Sheridan Road.
Jennifer Pritzker recently gave Republican candidate Bruce Rauner $54,000.00 for his run against Governor Quinn.
The cost of development that may draw more good people into the neighborhood is often temporary in convenience. Maybe new people will realize what a turd Joe Moore is and eventually vote him out.
