“The new Oldsmobiles are in early this year.”

"This is definitely lower Wacker Drive."

For those of us who happen to be fortunate enough (/barf) to work in Chicago, the landmarks in that movie are priceless. A fair number of them don't exist at all anymore, and boy has the skyline changed.

Daley Plaza on the other hand (where they paid the assessment fees for the orphanage) looks exactly the same as it did in the movie.

A buddy of mine in college worked on a garbage truck in high school/summers in Chicago. As the chase roars through that dark, underground lot he would exclaim “there’s my dumpster!” as it flashed by.

And the police dispatcher's line was PRICELESS! "Use of unnecessary force has been approved." (sorry, I don't recall the exact wording).

And of course, there's the "Hut! Hut! Hut! Hut!" of the rappelling police!

Thanks for the update. Chicago, since childhood, has been one of my favorite cities...despite it’s politics.
