360 CHICAGO

This guide to 360 CHICAGO follows TILT, the glass platform bolted onto the ninety-fourth floor of the tower Chicagoans still call the Hancock, and the eight strangers who lock arms along its bar before it tips out over Michigan Avenue. It traces the ride back to its opening in May 2014, and the bet that tourists would pay for real fear rather than just a view. You'll also hear about a free alternative just a few steps away, along the deck's glass-floored ledge.
