The Brick Chicks were in Chicago for meetings with OSHA, and we had a few hours to kill before our flight back to Denver. We decide to hop the L to Wrigley Field - you can't go to Chicago without seeing it. So we go and we aren't impressed. It looks like masonry that got stucco'd over in grayish-white. Coors Field is much more attractive. Just as we're about to leave, we notice rooftop seating on the buildings across the street. We run over to take a closer look and see that one of the buildings is still in the renovation process. Understatement - the face of the building is still standing but the rest of the building is gone and they are building a new structure out of load bearing masonry. We geek out. We talked our way onto the job site and talked our way into the building next door to get a good look from the rooftop - not of Wrigley, but of the load bearing masonry construction. We snapped lots of photos with the cell phones. "Masonry Geek" written on our foreheads, no doubt.
