Chicago – Monochromia

Posted on June 12, 2022 by Lucas Ayala


 

“Hog Butcher for the World,

Tool Maker, Stacker of Wheat…

…City of the Big Shoulders:”

– Carl Sandburg

 

Carl Sandburg’s poem had wonderful imagery of this rough-and-tumble, tough, midwestern city “getting it done” for America. But that was a Chicago of a different time, the poem written over 100 years ago. Today’s Chicago is more a city of buildings that are taller and sleeker, but with shoulders that are no longer as broad.
