How much curve would a person who believes earth is a globe expect in 60 miles?
It depends on your height of eye and the height of the object you are observing. But let's assume your height of eye is 6' and Chicago is 60 miles away. All Chicago structures should be blocked by approximately 2,166ft of earth curvature. So those building would have to be more than 2166ft tall to be observed, but in this picture they seem to be seen completely.

*tallest building is the sears tower at 1451 ft
