Sent her pics, she stated, "that would be $200,000. for kitchen." Without measurements, coming out like she said she was, twice. After many weeks, i again recontacted her and she said, "oh, it got cancelled, were doing a new computer reboot," or some lame ass excuse. If I hadn't even reached out again and again and again, she would never have responded. Based on this , I'm sure the service and completed production, if it ever occurred would have been a "Shitshow." Looking elsewhere. This has been going on for months, what a joke.

Oh Lord... How we fell in love Waterworks fixtures!! We went in knowing full well it would be a…read morelittle out of our budget, but decided to adjust other elements of our home remodel to accommodate our love of their unlacquered brass fixtures. Our salesperson was very quick to reply - even if the correspondence was lacking in warmth - but I persevered. I wasn't looking for friendship. But that is where my satisfaction ends with Waterworks. Overall, the products are amazing. You are paying for an extremely high end product. You will love them. You will dream about them. You will spend a lot of time on Pinterest. If you can swallow the bitter pill of feeling like a second class citizen. I just didn't enjoy the experience. We were ignored on our first visit to the showroom - with no excuse, mind you... There was a blizzard going on and no one was shopping at the Merch Mart that day. It was us... and a family flipping through the blueprints for the new home, their designer, and their Waterworks salesperson. We should have know our relationship would be doomed from the beginning. We eventually fell in with our salesperson, who seemed nice and knowledgable, if not a little uninterested. We knew what we liked... we just needed someone to help us maneuver the Waterworks product line. We got super excited. We KNEW we were going to make it work! Then we got the price. Whoa. Regroup. My two star review is not a reflection of the price... We knew going in it was going to be the high end of our budget. It's about the customer service you receive when spending a lot of money. Because lets face it... we could all go to Home Depot and buy Kohler. But when you spend money at Waterworks, you expect to be treated well. Not ass-kissing. I'm talking basic respect. We are a young couple. Sure... we are only doing a kitchen and a bathroom right now, but if we had enjoyed this experience, we would have recommended Waterworks to EVERYONE. We would have been devoted Waterworks loyalists. Instead, we will take our money elsewhere. Additionally: + The website is terrible. + You have to specifically ask that the quote include all the components to make the faucets work, etc.. That seems really, really silly... But to not even ASK if we want those components included seems sneaky.

I've honestly never been disappointed. Their next opening is September 11th--given that just about every other gallery in the area's also having an opening that day, you can head down there and make a night of it--it'll be fun.

The floor is split into two separate halves, with seating and table on each side. The staff were all very nice. I had misplaced the summons but the woman behind the counter kindly told me to go to Window 4, where another woman took my information and printed up a new one. There was an orientation video we had to watch and once that was over, we were told we could move to the other side, which I did. Since I was going to be there for a while, I brought my laptop to get some work done. There are vending machines for snacks, drinks and coffee. The whole process for selection was pretty organized as they called folks by groups to the court. In the end I was not called and we were told we could come up and get our checks and leave. As they had us in groups, they were calling us up by group numbers....all done very efficiently After I left, I went down to hang out in the plaza. There is always something going on and sure enough, there was a DJ spinning tunes. It was nice to sit with The Picasso" (Untitled sculpture) and listening to the tunes. For a day of jury duty, this was a good day and I was able to perform my civic duty.

Growing up with four brothers, NO sisters and having my dad in the home EVERYTHING was male dominated. I had NO control over the activities. Sports this, sports that. TV shows included wrestling and boxing. So there was absolutely NO way Mr. Oscar De La Hoya was getting past me without a picture. Wait till my brothers see it. Just think, I was a bit disappointed to hear that a few of my favorite food trucks decided to park near Lollapalooza instead of showing up at Daley Plaza. I still enjoyed myself. My jerk lunch special; all white meat chicken on top of rice and beans, with cabbage, yams and bread, hit the spot in a really good way. I even had two of my girlfriends meet me and ran into a Yelp Elite. So, no complaints.

By the 1860s, Chicago's water supply was inadequate for its growing population. Near-shore lake water was too polluted to be used because of runoff from the Chicago River. In 1867, Chesbrough, an engineer designed a water supply tunnel system running nearly 2 miles offshore pumped back to shore through this pumping station. Boyington designed both the pumping works building & Water Tower that houses the standpipe. Both buildings were built in the Gothic Revival style with distinctive yellow Joliet limestone. The buildings look like something out of a fairy tale. The Chicago Water Tower was the most iconic structure that remained standing after the Great Fire of 1871. It was a rallying point for the city. It stood as a symbol for a city determined to rise from its own ashes. Sadly at 9 o'clock on a Friday morning homeless filled most of the benches panhandling with all of their belongings.

In fact, it has witnessed its share of disasters over the years. As the myth has it- the Water Tower wasn't the only structure left standing after the city was ravaged by the Great Fire of 1871 - it is one of Six Structures That Survived the Great Chicago Fire--built-in 1869. As of today, it still stands as the second oldest water tower in America. The tower contained a pipe that stood roughly around 140 feet high. The intent was to pump water from Lake Michigan so it could be used for multiple purposes. One such use was for the Chicago Fire Department. It intended to pump clean water via the water cribs from the lake. despite the intent to provide the fire department with enough water to put out a fire, it wasn't enough to contain the Great Fire of Chicago in 1871. However, there had been stories of the spirits that have haunted the water tower for many years, but that's the case with every old building, isn't it?
