Tower comes up short on skyline but is a boon to river

Because the new 60-story office building called 300 North LaSalle is very glassy and doesn't flaunt a wild, attention-getting shape, many passersby are likely to dismiss it as just another glass box. That would be dead wrong. While this riverfront skyscraper has significant shortcomings, it does enough things well to come off as a positive addition to the cityscape.
