This is how they clean windows in Chicago, this would never be allowed in Holland. You are not even allowed anymore to work on a ladder in Holland, so abseiling is definately out of the question ;)

Walking towards the Magnifent Mile you pass the Chicago Public Library; quite an interesting building:
