OK, here’s one for the nostalgia buffs, as this scene has an element that is long gone. I am of course talking about The Chicago Sun Times building.
This photo was taken in 2003, 46 years after the building was erected, and just one year before it was demolished. In its place now sits a 90-story Trump Tower, and I will refrain from any further comment on that fact.
But I grew up visiting Chicago and seeing this scene along The Chicago River, and I love that the signage is reflecting the golden light bouncing off the building on the south side of the river, as if illuminating the old gal in her final moments, the flags along the Michigan Avenue Bridge giving one last salute.
A little history of Chicago, now gone to the ages….
