Beautiful skyscraper. I walked around taking photos of a bunch of the rocks. I tried to go in but got kicked out because most of it is for private residents.

I recently checked out the Tribune Tower in Chicago, and let me tell you, it's one impressive piece of architecture! This place is like a time capsule that takes you back to the city's glorious past.
The first thing that caught my eye was .. Read more »the stunning Gothic-inspired design. Seriously, it's like something out of a fantasy movie! The intricate details on the exterior are mind-boggling, with gargoyles, arches, and all sorts of fancy embellishments. It's one of those buildings that make you stop and go, "Whoa!"
As I ventured inside, the grandeur continued. The lobby is simply breathtaking, with its high ceilings, elegant marble, and intricate mosaics. It's got this old-world charm that instantly transports you to a bygone era. You can almost imagine the hustle and bustle of newspaper reporters working tirelessly to get the latest scoop.
Now, let's talk about the views from the top. The Tribune Tower has an observation deck that offers panoramic views of the city skyline. Trust me, it's a sight you don't want to miss! You can see the iconic landmarks like the Navy Pier, Lake Michigan, and the towering skyscrapers that make Chicago so famous. It's the perfect spot for snapping jaw-dropping photos and capturing memories that will last a lifetime.
Another cool thing about the Tribune Tower is its rich history. The building is adorned with stones and fragments from famous structures around the world. You can spot pieces from the Great Wall of China, the Taj Mahal, the Parthenon, and many more. It's like a global tribute right in the heart of Chicago. It's fascinating to think about the stories behind those stones and the adventures they've been through.
The only reason I'm not giving it a full 5 stars is that I couldn't explore the interior as much as I would have liked. It's mostly office spaces now, so access is limited. But hey, the exterior and the observation deck alone are worth the visit.
So, if you're into architecture, history, or just want to soak in some incredible views, make sure to swing by the Tribune Tower. It's a captivating piece of Chicago's heritage that will leave you in awe. Prepare to be transported to a time of grandeur and marvel at the city's skyline from new heights.
