| May 21, 2015 at 7:35 | comment | added | jvriesem | On the observation deck, at 412 m above ground level, the horizon is between 45 and 50 miles away from the base of the tower. Depending on the local topography, that comment about Wisconsin being 50 miles away IS relevant! | |

| Jan 6, 2015 at 18:53 | comment | added | Chuu | Isn't Wisconsin more than 50 miles from downtown Chicago? It takes more than an hour on I-94 to get to the border. | |
