The finished tower crane over the Wicker Park Connection, Monday evening.
It got started over the weekend, and by Monday evening it was completed. The Wicker Park Connection can begin going vertical, now that there’s a tower crane on site. We watched most of the erecting from the B.U.C. HQ, but a well-timed going-away dinner (Bon Voyage, Steve!) on Division Street meant a good look at the new kid on that block.

- Lifting the top into place.

Look what I found Thursday morning: The full building permit came through on Wednesday.
