If you were to go back there to Hill Street, you'd scarcely know it for the hospitals and schools we've got there, and as for this part of the town--well, I reckon the apartment houses will fairly take your breath away.

Apartment houses! Well, that's what I call progress--apartment houses and skyscrapers, and we've got them, too, down on Main Street.

I'll show them to you to-morrow.

Yes, by George, we're progressing so fast you can hardly see how we grow.
Why, there wasn't a skyscraper or an apartment house in the city when you left here, and precious few hospitals.

But now--well, I'll show you! We're the hospital city of the South, and more than that, we're becoming a metropolis.
