I remember the song and the time, '64. 'His kind of town', that skyline, is now submersed among the new one abuilding.
You have to look hard to find the 'skyscrapers' of that era.
Chicago's favorite 'birds', the construction cranes, are back in earnest:

Tribune Tower East
Status: Proposed
At 1,422 feet, this proposed addition to Chicago’s neo-gothic Tribune Tower is gunning for the title of Chicago’s second tallest building. Slated to replace a parking lot just east of its historic neighbor, the yet-to-be-named skyscraper will contain a 200-key luxury hotel, 439 rental apartments, 125 condominiums, and 430 parking spaces.
The design from hometown architecture firm of Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill is quite slender by Chicago standards—partly due to a protected view corridor requiring Tribune Tower to remain visible from the Ogden Slip to the east.
While co-developers CIM Group and Golub & Co. seek approval for their new supertall, the duo are moving ahead with a conversion of the 1925 Tribune office building into luxury condominiums.
