Yo's holiday gift guide: Chicago at 1:4,000 scale

Build Your Own Chicago

Build Your Own Chicago

It’s a little late for Christmas, but we guess any time is a good time to send a postcard from Build Your Own Chicago. Each postcard comes with instructions on how to cut it up and assemble mini models of some of Chicago’s most famous landmarks, including the Tribune Tower, Lake Point Tower and Mies van der Rohe’s 860 Lake Shore Drive. There are even some free models— including the AON Center and, if you’re into ugly, the former Sun-Times Building— that you can print out online. The postcards sell for $1.50 each, and you can order them online.
