One of the biggest differences I have experienced in my move from Chicago to New York is how every single nook and cranny in NYC is occupied by something. In contrast, this shot was taken only blocks from the Sears Tower (Roosevelt Road, just west of the river), and there is just a vastness of empty land (on the left) and rail yards. Chicago never was near the density of New York, and never will be, but it never ceases to amaze me how much prime real estate there is so close to the center of it all that remains empty.
