Looks the same. Oh right, Chicago unions put a stop to growth.
theashman69
Pretty sure most of it was destroyed in Transformers 3.

As someone from a different part of Illinois it is probably appropriate you left out the state.

I can never get my skyscrapers to grow that tall. Wonder what they use for fertilizer.

I miss meigs field. Closing it down was a goddamn crime

I once flew to Chicago just for italian beef sandwiches. Flew in, picked up sandwiches in the concourse, got back on the next flight out.

If the Cubs win World Series it will look much like 1937 again

Everything east of Michigan Ave is man made land. Grant park use to be the Lake.
BeerFueledAdventurer
Better: it was elevated by several feet to allow the sewage to work properly. And the Chicago River's flow was reversed.
JohnnyTitelips
Yeah, it's the rubble from the Fire that they pushed into the Lake. Really puts the magnitude of the blaze into perspective.

hey I see my old work building! neat!

It appears Chicago has gained colors

This can't be right. According to Watch_dog, Chicago is an archipelago.
HandoB4Javert
The windy city has a lot of sail boats.

Where are the twin towers?
wenturi
If I have learned anything from Imgur, news and American movies, Chicago TODAY, doesnt look anything like that.
RogerSmithsAlterEgoNumber30238
Nice photos but now? The light pollution must be off the charts.
AWizardOfLoneliness
There were a million more people living in Chicago 100 years ago than there are today.
makeitsnow
It's crazy how nature does that
Always +1 Chicago. Can you find then and now pictures of the whole downtown area? Would like to see the Sears Tower's current location then.
IgnoreUsernameUpvotePost
Way more color in the future.
KcKuun
There are more boats.
AHappyOldMan
Well, you're not wrong I suppose

More color! Can you believe the world was all black and white back then? Blows my mind!
Wufus
I miss home :(
Yep. Same.
KaiWolf1898
Hah I don't!
BigMistakeBigHUGE
FYI-We have different areas, just like NY has Manhattan/Brooklyn etc. Media pisses me off saying all crime is "Chicago".This area is amazing
BuckeyeBTH
Agreed. But if you say East Garfield Park to anyone who doesnt live here. They go "where?" oh Chicago..
dankgooseman
My aunt lives there but I don't go there because my grandpa had a heart attack at O'Hare and passed away and my dad can't handle it
4ShoYo
You know Chicago has 2 airports right?
Yeah I still don't know why but my dad just can't handle the city. Maybe I'll go there one day without him.

Fly Southwest! They utilize Midway Airport which is nowhere near O'Hare :)
GrandmasterBush
This is so specific
We have good food don't be shy
jtsurfs
Is that someone getting murdered in the lower left corner?
Maandris
Chicago is such a great city when you get past all the bad stuff.
Vedar
Just like Hitler. I bet he was a great person when you get past the bad stuff.
Come here and say that. It would be a very memorable vacation for you.
You don't have to get past the bad stuff. You literally have to go and find it.
forgetthisnoise
I liked my vacation there a lot. We were considering moving but cost of living difference is too great right now. We'd need to make about 1
20k more a year to maintain current life style.
DrFartstheTRex
I lived there briefly. I love the city, but living there not so much.
I lived there for 9 years, and I think it was great.
RayLynch
Is this supposed to make us think Chicago is a good place?
Despite media attention to the violence, the remaining 90% of the city is clean and nice
500 murders in Chicago this year so far. How are the toughest anti-gun laws working out for you all?
They don't but that's not my problem. It's people with who hold no value on life who are the issue. It's sad to say that when you ask (1/2)
Also, you act like this is new. It's not the media just started paying attention. And with indy and wisco in an hr away guns are easy to get
a kid from a bad neighborhood whats 9*9 they cant answer but ask where to get a gun and they can point out the guy on the corner (2/2)
Hey! I see my apartment!
DoctorNerdyPants
