I just get so damn infuriated whenever I see the jewels that Chicago demolished just because. Chicago's streetscape has been raped and there wasnt a single damned reason for it!!

I'm with ya, 773. Sure, Chicago has an impressive skyline, but imo, I think it's a little too modern. Looking a bit more like Hong Kong or Shanghai. Getting so you have to look hard for the vintage in some shots.
In my railroad calendar, last month's was a 1954 pic showing trains leaving LaSalle Station with period skyscrapers rising behind (Prudential would have been u/c then). Yeah, they were small by today's standards, but still, for that time, it was an impressive view.
I lament the fate of that domed, four-winged bldg (City Hall)?
