There’s rarely a time when tourists aren’t milling around Millennium Park and Grant Park, but it’s safe to say that there’ll be a few more out-of-towners hanging out in downtown’s green spaces over the next three days than on a typical summer afternoon. (Taste of Chicago notwithstanding, of course.)
In honor of Lollapalooza weekend, here’s a rundown of all the towers under construction (or proposed) alongside the perimeter of the parks and the museum campus. You might not be able to hear the music very well from any of these spots, but you will never have to stand in line for bottled water or port-a-potties, either.
