A coloring book that highlights famous Chicago sites with accompanying poems.

"The most famous highway in America starts in the center of Chicago. For over 2400 miles it winds west through little towns, plains mountains and deserts, all the way to L.A., California. The first few miles of the journey zigzag down busy streets of the city. Here and there are old roadside businesses dating from the picturesque days of auto tourism along the Mother road. Read the story of this historic travel route in the enclosed booklet, and see the sights along the way in three-dimensional photographs."

"At 10:00am on June 27, 1987, 24 Hours in Chicago began. Eighty-seven photographers from the Fort Dearborn-Chicago Camera Club fanned out across Chicago to produce a historical record of life in the city. ... The members of the Fort Dearborn-Chicago Camera Club planned this project to celebrate Chicago's 150th anniversary."
