Thanks everyone for the input.

As I have said in earlier threads Chicago would have been spared in the initial strikes. The nearest nuke strike was over 25km away. This area of the city (central downtown) was not even exposed to .1 psi of overpressure (not nearly enough to break the windows). I did add soot to most buildings as I expected there to be nearby fires. The flags are torn (that took me like 30 min), it is just hard to see at that size. I am going for 3 years after TDM (2001). I have seen abandoned flags that are 5 years old with no damage.

I am going to add more clutter as I have time (maybe 45 min per weekend), but adding new elements is much harder to make realistic that removing or transforming existing ones.
