I know that Richard J. had a big ego, but was it so big that this was named for him before his death in 1976? If not, the article should mention its original name. Unschool 22:14, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I dunno about that. Talk to either

The original name of the building was the Chicago Civic Center, per its official site; it was renamed 7 days after Richard J. Daley's death in December 1976. I added the former name to the lead of the article. Cheers, Rai•me 15:40, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I got a pic of the plaza after chicago lost it's bid, it's a pretty nice pic I think and it shows a little of how they decorated the plaza. Here's the link: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Daleycenterolympicbiddecoration.jpg

Why when the question is asked, what was the tallest building in Chicago, IL in 1960 (not 1965), they skip from One Prudential (1955) to a 1965 structure?

The information is missing. If a building is under construction in 1960, it is not the tallest before it is even built. 209.143.48.90 (talk) 13:42, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
