Chicago from the Air

(photo by Lee Bey)

A friend of mine, Chicago developer Cortez Carter, is a pilot. Last year, he took me up in a single-prop Diamond Star airplane. Naturally, I brought my camera. Just in case he wasn't as good a pilot as he claimed, I wanted the NTSB to have just that much more information. The photo above is of Altgeld Gardens public housing project on the far South Side.

This photo shows Michael Reese clustered to the left with the towers of Lake Meadows and Prairie Shores running up and down the middle of the page.

 

 The Hilton at 95th and Cicero.

 

 

Most cool hangar at Midway. Didn't CF Murphy & Associates to this?
