Among everyone's favorite buildings in Chicago, Bertrand Goldberg's Marina City still towers over the Chicago River.  I will undoubtedly post many photographs of this mid-20th Century gem (designed in 1959, completed in 1964).  It was the first post-war residential tower built in the United States in an effort to stop middle class flight from the city to the suburbs, a trend that after 60 years is in full reversal.
