John Hancock Observatory

875 N Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL 60611, USA

Are you ready? Behold because I never thought I’d get a view from the Hancock Tower like this for free. It’s in...the women’s bathroom. Yes, bathrooms are more than for gossiping and refreshing your lipstick. They are also used to take photos of skylines. Skip the $14 cocktail, $7 beer, and line up (to either the observatory or champagne room). Go to the bathroom. A pee break never looked so good.
