best I can do for now, should be able to come up with more as I go thru my dad's slides. He was from Cleveland and passed thru Chicago as he went back and forth from Minny. Knowing pops, this and the Prudential Bldg were likely taken from the freeway out the driver's side window as he was driving.

I think your pics would be better if they were contained in one thread. Think of a title you would like for that thread and post it in this one.

Cool pic btw.

So this is basically what the skyline looked like when I was born. I do have very vivid memories of coming through Chicago in the early 80s and the Sears Tower really did stick out a lot more than it does today. Now the other tall buildings around there sort of bring it in to a larger skyline composition.

Great pic!
