More Chicago Model City pics.
Here are more photos of the Chicago Model City presented by the Chicago Architecture Foundation.

For those unfamiliar with Chicago, the CAF is at the Railway Exchange Building (Santa Fe Bldg.) on South Michigan Avenue at Jackson Blvd., across from the Art Institute and Grant Park.

I took these yesterday. I apologize that I had to use the flash.
