Population declining?

I don't know about the suburbs in Illinois,
but Chicago's population was less in 2010 than in 1920:

Chicago Historical populations

Census Pop. %+-
1920 2,701,705 23.6%
1930 3,376,438 25.0%
1940 3,396,808 0.6%
1950 3,620,962 6.6%
1960 3,550,404 −1.9%
1970 3,366,957 −5.2%
1980 3,005,072 −10.7%
1990 2,783,726 −7.4%
2000 2,896,016 4.0%
2010 2,695,598 −6.9%

(and Detroit...)

Pulled this image from the construction webcam this evening. Great to see the towers getting taller!

1. It's probably best if the new bridge had a maximum of 6 lanes.

2. To the new user MusicMan84: Welcome to the SSC forum.

I was in St. Louis this past week, and took a few photos from the Ferris Wheel on top of the City Museum.






Missouri approach and work on the new interchange:
