    Wayne devised a captivating superb tour beginning with the earliest Chicago man-made structures, continuing through each successive decade. Featured buildings were described by designer, architectural style and former vs current occupants. Wayne peppered his talk with entertaining nuggets such as the person who attracted a huge crowd and short lived fame balancing on a rope stretched between the carbide building and (?) building. Perfect amount of walking for us active 60 something’s. Highly recommend!

    Other than our docent Rene, my favorite part of Chicago Architecture Center's walking tour "a walk through time" is that we were able to see prime examples from many periods in Chicago's architectural history in chronological order. It was a hot day and our tour guide was careful to park us in the shade while he painted vivid vignettes of the environmental, technological, political drivers of the period, meanwhile linking each period to the city's history. I'd give this well-paced tour a grade A. Rene was super cute and I felt comfortable asking him stupid questions!
