Description
The "Blue Whale" is a nickname assigned to a seven-story commercial apartment building located at 1420 Chicago Avenue, managed by BJB Properties. [1] The seven stories are elevated above a level of garage parking, thus the building could be said to be in a "seven-plus-one" configuration, following Chicago's "four-plus-one" parlance. [2] This elevated configuration contributes to the buildings looming, floating presence, and could be one of the reasons why the building was dubbed a 'whale.'
Example Sentences
Senior year, I lived in the Blue Whale
Let's meet in front of the Blue Whale before we go to Blind Faith Café.
