Chicago: Then and Now

OK – let’s see if this works.

First, a photo of college classmates during my first visit to Chicago 18 years ago.

Second, a photo from essentially the same location last weekend.

I kept looking at the skyline and thinking that there were so many new buildings in this spot, but it seems the only difference is the Trump Tower on the right. Otherwise, there isn’t a single new building across the river.

    WHAT were people thinking in the ’80s….and why is some of that “fashion” coming back? These are some of the great mysteries of life….

    Lise – that pic is the 90’s (granted, the early 90’s….but still!)

    Golden – I always forget we all lived together back in the 90’s (actually, it might have been at the same time as this photo was taken).
