My point exactly. As I said, we happened to have a lot to lose and were young and brazen.
I am more heavily involved in preservation than anyone I know... it's hard not to be depressed about the losses. But, what I am trying to say is, this was an American phenomenon, not something to be down on Chicago about. Let the past go and focus on what we have left - which, I will disagree with one of your earlier points, is still around in huge numbers (not what it was, but let's be fair).
DAC, thanks for the nice comments and for sticking around even though we all jumped on you. Hopefully your comments about Chicago architecture picking up steam will be verified in the coming years.
