At SkyscraperPage.com's forums, somebody posted some great color photos of Chicago in the 40's, 50's, and 60's. If you've ever been to Chicago, you can see how different the sky line was back then. The poster got the photos from a website called the Charles W. Cushman Photography Collection. There are so many photos of different cities around the world in about 18 countries. Definitely for broadband users only.
