First it was the Bean, then the Eye, next the Olive?
That's what one group of architects here in Chicago are proposing. Local architects at Raino Ogden Architects want to build an olive to put on the Aon Center antenna.
They say it would be a great way to hide the antenna that went up on the Aon Center's roof last summer. There’s been no word if the city or management group at the Aon Center are 'eating up' the idea.
I think it's a great way to hide that ugly antenna - what about you?
Shaken not stirred?
Ok, Knock-knock.
Who's there?
Olive.
Olive who?
Olive my jokes are as bad as this one!

They should put it on a martini glass shaped building!
Lyn...Olive your jokes...good or bad. As for putting one on the tower...That may cause many a sore neck for those looking up at it... Sounds like a chiropractors idea!
Bill: That or a bartender.
Jody: Another good idea.
Lyn, why an olive???? Sounds more like a Sicilian icon. Maybe they can rationalize it by saying it symbolizes (olive) "I LOVE" Illinois.
Ellen: It's so simple I didn't get it at first LOL.
I love the idea...
Alan: I think it's a great idea. Funnier than the 'eye' watching you on State St.
