Train Stop Confusion and City Sights From Chicago Visit
In Chicago I observed a Pullman delay that let Carl Klein off at the platform while I trudged past the depot with my bag and typewriter. From the 22nd floor I noted the river, Lake Michigan, and baseball talk about the Pirates and Cubs. I met Klein in Cleveland for church merger talks and saw demonstrations urging an end to housing discrimination in Mayor Kennelly’s city. A seven and a half foot tall man and busy fire crews in the Loop caught my attention before leaving.
