View is terrific by QueenBee49444

I think the view from here is better than the Sears Tower. Plus, the shopping is more intense in the area too.

Vertigo by ladyzelaya

It’s just nice to have a view of 4 states from one single tower. If you go to Chicago, you have to look for John Hancock Observatory. 80 miles up, vertigo and an excellent view, take pictures, it’s amazing.

Foggy by wisepig

Went up to the Signature Lounge for drinks but it was really really foggy outside and I couldn’t see anything. Oh well, it was still a cool elevator ride up and it leaves me something to look forward to next time I’m in Chi-town.

Blue Trees by shinyredshoes

Across the street from the Hancock Tower is a church with a great looking spire. The particular time we were there they had shiny blue ribbons tied all over the front trees. They shook with the wind & sparkled like jewels. I know that they were for something but I was so overwhelmed by how beautiful it was that I don’t even remember what their purpose was.

Also, the old water tower is next the the Hancock & its great old style architecture too.

I took the elevator all the way up to the top where the restaurant and bar is. I believe its called “The Signiture Room”. I was warned when I heard that it was the fastest elevator in the city and at first I thought that was a good thing. The elevator made me feel like my heart and brain were going to implode. It was like being in space without a protective spacesuit or something. I thought I was dying all the way up but when I got there on the 98th floor or something like that, the view was awesome! It was…incredible. The bar ran all the way around the building facing the big window view. I sipped my $5 dollar Coke and soaked in the view. Then braved the crazy elevator ride back down.
