Good Times--Good Times!

I was watching the opening sequence of the 70's TV show Good Times last night and found it amazing to see downtown Chicago in those days. You could see Cabrini Green, an eastward view of the river (with the relatively new Marina City towers in the distance), and then another eastward view towards the John Hancock Tower. Chicago looked so GRITTY back then. Not only that, but it blows my mind how much has been added to the skyline since then. John Hancock pretty much stood alone in those days, like a lone pillar sticking out of the ground. And there was nothing close to the river canyon back then that is forming today. Even the L cars were way different. It gives you some perspective how much the central city has changed, you know?>
