About This Scene:

Chicago, Illinois

"The intersection of State and Madison streets in Chicago, Illinois, once called ‘the busiest corner in the world,’ is the location of the Carson, Pirie, Scott and Company Building, designed by Louis Sullivan. It is now a historic landmark and a famous example of early modern architecture.

"Helping Simon find his cowboy hat are Theodore Dreiser, Sarah Bernhardt, Frank Lloyd Wright, Louis Sullivan, and Chicago Cubs players Joe Tinker, Johnny Evers, and Frank Chance, whose team won the 1908 World Series." — from Adèle & Simon in America
