Very well written. It was odd how the article mentioned an improved rendering of Chicago's second largest building, and hyperlinked to the wiki page about the tallest buildings in chicago (spoiler: it's the trump tower). Why not just refer to it by its common and well known name?

They did in the title of the before/after graphic. My guess would be that they wanted to add emphasis on the fact that it's the second tallest building, making it seem like more of an omission. I.e how could it be missing the second tallest building in Chicago!?

I'll buy that, thanks.

Would anyone who doesn’t live in Chicago know there was another Trump Tower there? I for one thought all but the NY one had their names changed because the licensees no longer wanted to be associated with such a toxic brand.

It's the 7th tallest building in the US. It's not an obscure building in the middle of nowhere.
