Some things don't change but overall Chicago has for the better. The Buckingham Fountain at the end is not as picturesque as today. The lake right up the Museum of Science and Industry was real interesting along with some of the things I never knew about like the statue at Jackson Park and the Fountain of time. Must see them next time we are in Chi-Town. Nice find Sean!
