The view from the Museum Campus in Chicago's South Loop was voted the best by Axios readers.
The big picture: The sprawling area south of the Loop includes institutions like The Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium and the Adler Planetarium.
- It has stark, unimpeded views of the skyline, including both the Willis Tower and 875 N. Michigan.
- The northwest view was named the best view of the skyline in our week-long tournament, featuring several different angles of the globally renowned city.
Zoom in: The views varied from driving down DuSable Lake Shore Drive to atop the 18th Street Bridge near Canal Street.
Methodology: We strived to represent geographical diversity, skipping views that may be repetitive or in the same direction. Also, skyline is a very generic term that we used at our discretion. 😀
Reality check: No expressway views. This is a locals-only bracket.
