So many great buildings have gone in Chicago. But I’m going to go out on a limb and say, in panel #1 I think I see on the far left side, Dearborn Station’s clock towner. In Panel #2, on the far left side I think I see the Art Institute of Chicago and on the far side, The Auditorium Building (designed by Adler and Sullivan and current home to Roosevelt University). Panel #3 might have the Chicago Hilton on the left, not as sure on that one.
I have to admit that this travelog series is interesting, but only because you don’t see this kind of thing very often and it’s providing a glimpse of a North America that is long gone. On the other hand, it’s not dramatic, not funny, not entertaining. Surprising how the urge to educate has subverted McCay’s urge to explore the twists and turns of imagination.

At least they’ll have enough time to go sightseeing.
