Ah Royko. i grew up reading him in the Daily News, then later in the
Sun Times. He was the thorn in RJDs side, and he kept the city from
sinking into total corruption. Did a good job popularizing the Billy
Goat as well.

Excellent photo essay, indeed, Paul. I thought of Richard Nickel's
work while watching it. I just came across Richard Cahan's book on
the photographer, Richard Nickel-- *They All Fall Down: Richard
Nickel's Struggle to Save America's Architecture.* Looks like it
will be a good book--besides any book that begins with a Mike Royko
quote is all right by me. Here's the quote at chapter one: "I
figure that anyone who tries to save landmarks in Chicago is goofy
enough to preach celibacy in a Playboy Club or nonviolence to Dick
Butkus." Thanks for posting, Paul. Cheers, Christine

Subject: GESO: Ryan Southern's pics of Michigan Central Station
A superb photo essay and a sad subject. One of the nation's most
beautiful train stations, Michigan Central closed its doors just
21 years ago. Now it's doors are open to vagrants, rats and the
weather. These pics reveal its former magnificence, while
illustrating its sad decline.
