I don’t know why I don’t go to the top of the Hancock Building more often.  It’s just one little elevator and you get to see what’s going on all over Chicago.  Why would anyone would pay to go to the top of the Sears Tower or the Hancock Observatory when you can take the elevator to the Signature Lounge at the 96th Floor for free?  And possibly have a cocktail.

Secret: the best view of the city is from the women’s bathroom on the 96th Floor.  This is not a helpful tip for men because I hear there are no windows in there but the entire wall of the ladies room is a window facing Navy Pier, the Lake and the South Side of the City.
