Trump Tower redux

Trumpeter update

Chicago May Give 'Apprentice' Lesson in Reality
Bill Rancic will lead a $700 million building project, which still needs financing, final signoffs from City Hall and demolition of the current occupant of the site.

Trump named Bill Rancic, who won NBC's "The Apprentice" on Thursday night and had earlier made a living selling cigars on the Web, as "president" of this $700 million project, which still needs financing, final signoffs from City Hall, and demolition of the Chicago Sun-Times building, which sits on the site of the tower-to-be.

"This is a large and sophisticated project, and the job is like being the conductor of an orchestra," Bruce R. Cohen, the chief executive of Cohen Financial Capital Management in Chicago, observed. "I don't know how somebody can conduct the Chicago Symphony Orchestra if they've never gone to a concert before, and if they've never played any of the instruments."

and the AP/Times stole my picture (see this post for my photo of the Sun-Times building).

Oh well, it was an obvious picture, and I chose a different angle to post (although I took one that looks identical to the AP/NYT picture, I didn't use it because you can't see the little "Trump International" sign in upper right corner).
