Don't forget that EVERYONE HATED the Hancock when it was first built. Everyone made fun of the black building with the big X's. It didn't match the Chicago School of Architecture and thought it was out of place. Today it is a Chicago institution. Everyone still complains about the Picasso in Daley Plaza - but could you imagine downtown without it? The Spire has a sleek design - very modern. Maybe it doesn't match the rest of our gorgeous skyline, but I'll put money down that in 10 years everyone would rave on how visionary it was to build it.
