Changes in Skylines


Updating old slides into modern digital images will remind one of the buildings that no longer exist. Squatty, in a prime location along the river just a bit east of the previous post, were the editorial offices of the CHICAGO SUN-TIMES and its former sister paper, the CHICAGO DAILY NEWS. My prime newspaper reading for over 40 years, the SUN-TIMES moved a few blocks west some years ago, this building was torn down, and a new tall, modern skyscraper is now in that footprint. It is the Trump Tower. But I still recall the TIMES, reading that great paper, visiting the sports department when my son worked there, and lots of bygone days.
Guess any study of architecture will do that -- trigger reminiscences. Next post will feature a building that still exists . . .
