The rocks are still there. The Tribune reporters, alas, are not. The Tribune Tower is now a hot residential property on the Magnificent Mile.

A lot more rocks than I expected! Another good stop on the way to the Navy Pier.

Amazing to see pieces of significant American buildings and artifacts embedded here...and foreign ones as well (the House of Parliament? Really?). There were lots of people looking at the items, taking pictures.
