There's an image on wikipedia's entry for CPS that looks to be taken in the sixties, that you can click on and it enlarges - but I'm not going to copy it since there is a lot of verbiage at the bottom about the photo not having clear citation for who took it and that it will be taken off shortly. (It's possible I misunderstand if the verbiage applies to that photo.) Anyway, I don't see a clock on that one either.
Miller - I lived in Chicago as a child and went back to visit recently. There were many changes for me - but also much that was comfortably the same.
I grew up in Chicago and last visited the City in 1982. At that time, I could see that the North side was starting to go the way of the South side ( not good ). I still have 2 CDs in a bank
on the far Southwest side. Every time I call the bank to check on interest rates, I'm asked if I speak Spanish or English.
This suprised me, as I never knew any Hispanics as a child growing up in the inner City. I now know that Chicago is 50%
Hispanic and about 40% black.
While the loop and "Gold Coast" seem to have flourished under democratic leadership, it's my opinion that the remainder of the City is not in the shape, it was in, during the 1940s, 1950s or even the early 1960s and never will be.
