We're less than two weeks away from high wire artist and acrobat Nik Wallenda's tightrope walk from Marina City to the Leo Burnett Building on Nov. 2. While Wallenda continues to practice for the walk 50 stories above Wacker Drive and the Chicago River, Discovery Network, which will broadcast the walk live, has a "skyscraper cam" that is now live. If you want a real-time view of downtown bustle, here it is.

Those same streets will undoubtedly be packed with onlookers craning their necks at the sight of Wallenda walking that tightrope at a 15 degree angle. For those of us who wish to avoid gapers blocks in the Loop, we can watch Wallenda attempt what he's called his most ambitious walk to date.
