Excerpt from Chicago: A Portrait
From the north window Of a sky-scraper club, one looks down upon the birthplace of Chicago.
What now lies there is a boulevard spanning a gray-blue river. The crossing is by a bridge which is one Of the busiest, though not the tallest, in the world. Past its heavy pillars, with their bas-reliefs, the boulevard runs on, inaccurately north. In the foreground stand sky-scrapers, like the halves Of an enormous gateway. Between these, and on and on, pass ing structures high and low, the street, a sleek ribbon, rises, narrows, rounds a slight bend, and disappears. Far below the point Of Observation two continuous rows of motor-cars glide like thin caterpillars, northward and southward.
