"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.
