CityPass and The Hancock Observatory
Time to go to Hancock Observatory. I was in the middle of Magnificent Mile on the Michigan Ave. About half of the Mile (or a quarter one side only) is the Hancock Observatory. Before I went up, I stopped in Water Tower Place and had a quick dinner at "Wow Bao", which is a fast food restaurant serving Chinese style buns. Beside traditional; BBQ pork, it has many different stuffing like Thai Curry Chicken. It's a good alternative to burger.
Citypass can help you avoid the ticket line up but not the elevator one that I waited for around 15 minutes. The observatory is at 94th floor and it takes 40 seconds to go up. By the time I was up there it's sunset. Beautiful. Yet, it would be better if there were no clouds. At that height, it's not significant how many floors Sear Tower is higher. Plus Hancock is closer to the lake. So it's trade off between being highest building in Chicago and lake view (+ CityPass ;) I mind as well stayed for the night view.
