NASCAR weekend is over, and Chicago survived. NBC Sports’ dreamy, panning shots of downtown and Grant Park, despite the foul weather, delivered for city officials eager to boost tourism.
The shots also bestowed attention on a flashy addition to the skyline — an apartment tower going up at 1000 S. Michigan Ave., an address that will make the 73-story building prominent in the postcard image of Chicago. It joins the towers that serve as bookends for the northern and southern ends of Grant Park and the Historic Michigan Boulevard District.
