The bridge on Wells Street over the Chicago River on the border of the Loop and River North. The very large building is Merchandise Mart. When it opened in 1930, it was the largest building in the world.

Chilling in the Merchandise Mart waiting for the robot convenience store to open so I can grab a little breakfast.

While the second floor is lost to us, I asked and was told this morning that the first floor will remain in its full Art Deco glory.

The last days of the fun Art Deco flooring before it is all consumed by the bland and ugly gray of the renovation.
