Who IS Richard M. Daley? Location: Chicago Haunted by this man (he welcomed them on the highway, provided a complementary newpaper in the morning, and greeted them at the top of the Sears Tower), Bryan and Leslie--who had the vague impression he had been the mayor in the 70s--finally asked a friendly Sears Tower employee: WHO IS THIS MAN, WHO DOGS OUR STEPS? As it turns out, he had been the mayor decades ago, and now his son, also Richard Daley, leads the city. - IMG 2348
