In at least one way the frieze in Union Station with "New York, St. Louis, San Francisco" is not out of date. it turns out We've got our very own secret NSA net-tap room right here in town! Suck on that, Chicago! It turns out that in addition the Gateway to the West, the strong AT&T presence also makes us the Gateway to a Third of All Internet Traffic.
It's a good thing that "our" government never abuses surveillance powers.

(Amusingly, Bureau Headquarters is located smack dab betwean an AT&T NOC (not the one in the article, though obviously they're linked up) and the local FBI field office.)
