is a city that outgrows a man's prophecies faster than he can make them and it is hopeless to try to keep up with this ever-changing city.

It is hopeless for the occasional visitor to try to keep up with Chicago-she outgrows his prophecies faster than he can make them. She is always a novelty... for she is never the Chicago you saw when you passed through the last time. Mark Twain

is a dreary city whose water tower is a castellated monstrosity with pepperboxes stuck all over it.

Your machinery is beautiful. Your society people have apologized to me for the envious ridicule with which your newspapers have referred to me. Your newspapers are comic but never amusing. Your Water Tower is a castellated monstrosity with pepperboxes stuck all over it. I am amazed that any people could so abuse Gothic art and make a structure not like a water tower but like a tower of a medieval castle. It should be torn down. It is a shame to spend so much money on buildings with such an unsatisfactory result. Your city looks positively dreary.Oscar Wilde
