As Chicago magazine continues their celebration of turning 40 (which is the new 30, we hear), they've released yet another in their line of top 40 lists, this one focusing on the top 40 buildings of Chicago. It's an intriguing list given the city's rich architectural history and ongoing efforts to for historical preservation of these buildings, it's well worth perusing. There are a few things worth noting - no Trump Tower, no stadiums, and they (proudly) call it the Sears Tower - so it should generate some interesting conversation, especially that pick for Number One (hint above).
