January 8, 2010 – Helping to illustrate “what’s hot and necessary,” Marina City is on the cover of this month“s CS Magazine.

To lead in to its annual assessment, the Chicago social scene magazine climbed to the roof of theWit last month and looked northwest.

“We wanted to shoot our cover at the VIP table that juts out over the city,” explains editor-in-chief Korey Karnes-Huyler, “but those photos didn’t work, so my photo editor [Greg Gillis] and the photographer tried some different angles. This was the favorite of my boss.”

Capturing the image was Anthony Tahlier of Chicago, who has also shot for Marina City’s Hotel Sax.

CS Magazine is published by Modern Luxury Media. The January issue is available at various newspaper vending boxes in the neighborhood, including one near the corner of Dearborn and Kinzie.
