   Yes. When I took the stairway up from Illinois Ave., the east side of the Tribune Tower was opened up for the renovation. This was completed a few years ago. The fabulous facade facing foot-traffic on Michigan Ave. was unaffected.

   On the left in panel 3 is the Blackstone Hotel (1909). The Stevens Hotel was built just south of it in 1927. It was the largest hotel in the world at the time of completion. The grandfather and father of the late, great SC Justice John Paul Stevens were the developers. It eventually became the Hilton Chicago, but you can still spy an “S” here and there if you know where to look. It is briefly featured in The Fugitive (1993).

   2. This courier a hurrier.

   3. Bubble trouble.

   1. Rise and shine! A brand new day. Soaking thief must go away.

   2. Shifting showers. Such a pain. Exit cab to greet more rain.

   Learning the identity of the John Doe will be the first step in discovering the motive for attempting to purloin the corpse. The body snatchers skedaddle. The MCU will know what to do.

   Thanks for the generous likes. Much appreciated.

   Night Watchman turns his flashlight on. Something is just not right

   When working in security You’d best be slow to fright.

   Never made uneasy with night moves among the dead

   No nerve-wracking hue and cry. A cool calm instead.

   Have a care. Is someone there? The Morgue is no playpen

   To disturb one on a slab a wretched kind of sin.

   Cease and desist! I do insist that corpse shall not depart

   Authorities will track you down. Deep troubles here do start.

    Gone but not forgotten is the Market Square Area. Elvis played his final concert there on June 26, 1977. I had the good fortune to see Bob Dylan there on October 26, 1998.
