| Description | View looking southeast along the Chicago River from its west bank, just north of Lake Street. The Lake Street elevated tracks run in front of the Loop high-rises. 150 North Wacker Drive, with its contrasting concrete side wall, is prominent in the skyline. The Civic Opera Building (20 North Wacker Drive) is further to the right, with Willis Tower (originally Sears Tower) rising behind it. |
