All the World In The Air (1908 & 1922)
Nice Sunday NYT article (written in 1908) about 'what things will be in 1922 or thereabouts, when not only 'all Paris' but all the world will be in the air':
The Diary of an Aviator in the Year 1922; Some Things That Happen When All the World -- and Paris -- Is in the Air. Aerial Marriage [link]

Today’s Skyline Shot
I went to the Harold Washington Public Library to see the very interesting exhibit: 'Branching Out: Chicago Public Library in the Neighborhoods'. Afterwards, I headed west on Roosevelt and got this pretty shot of the downtown skyline (along with the Dan Ryan Expy).
