This week a mystery sound took over social media, Batman
came out of retirement and Chicago’s
skyline is slated to get some work done.
Get the social scoop here:
- Do
you hear what I hear? At LCWA, about 25 percent of our office heard
Yanny, while most (75 percent) heard Laurel in the recent internet
sound-off. It all started with a sound clip posted to
Reddit by Roland Szabo, an 18-year-old high school student in
Lawrenceville, Ga. He said he was working on a school project and recorded
the voice from a vocabulary website (which was from the vaculary.com page
for “laurel” some will be pleased to find out) playing through the
speakers on his computer. People in the room disagreed about what they
were hearing, so he posted it to extend the conversation. Then the
sound-off really took-off when self-described YouTube “influencer” Cloe
Feldman, tweeted it earlier this week. Read

- 400
Lake Shore Drive to re-inSpire site. Chicago’s skyline is slated to
get two new additions. On Tuesday, developer Related Midwest unveiled a
bold plan for the waterfront site formerly slated for Garrett Kelleher’s
Chicago Spire. Designed by One World Trade Center architect David Childs,
the new plans for the 2.2-acre site along the Chicago River and Lake
Michigan include a south 1,100-foot south tower and a 850-foot north tower
featuring residential, retail, event and hotel space. The still-ambitious
project is slated to be complete by 2023. Read

- Two
words. Sometimes that’s all you need to make a memorable statement.
Michael Keaton made headlines this week for his closing words—I’m
Batman—at his Kent State commencement speech. Allegedly he also
imparted inspirational words for the students as they head into the real
world to start their careers. But who will remember anything, but this
closing line?
