A Look Into Chicago's Elite... Buildings
Kamryn Malenius

This weekend, I had the amazing opportunity to attend Open House Chicago once again. If you are unfamiliar with the event let me explain. Open House Chicago is an annual event held by the Chicago Architecture Foundation. During the event over 200 buildings are made open to the public, and attendees are able to snap some pictures and learn more about the unique and wonderful spaces in Chicago. Though I am not an architecture major, I do have a great interest in the design and structural qualities of buildings. So, early Saturday morning I and some friends rode the 7:55 AM train into the city to explore the city. Despite all of the rain, we were able to get an inside look into some of Chicago's amazing architecture firms and buildings. If you ever have the chance, I highly encourage you to experience this fun and unique event. However, in-case you are unable to, the following is a small sample of what I was able to see this weekend.

1. The Builders BLDG


2. Wintrust Bank Building

3. Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture

Now, unfortunately for some buildings we were prohibited from taking pictures inside because there were working designs that haven't been released to the public. However, we were able to take pictures of the beautiful views that surrounded the building.


4. Capital One




5. Ross and Barney Architects



6. Chicago Architecture Biennial



7. Centro

A few final words, all pictures shown are mine and they don't adequately represent how great each building was. So again, I strongly encourage you to go and experience it for yourself!

It was the second time this year after an historic geomagnetic storm in May 2024. Those Northern Lights were visible in Europe and North America, just like this latest rendition.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
