For today’s Wayback Wednesday, we cruise down Memory Expressway seven years to February 26, 2013. That’s where we find construction crews mucking about in the muck that passes for dirt in streeterville.

This patch of brown would become the Lowes Chicago Hotel in 2015. Ground would break on the residential skyscraper known as 465 North Park a year later.
Location: 465 North Park Drive, Streeterville
