  • Pulaski Road is a major north-south street in the city of Chicago, at 4000 W., or exactly five miles west of State Street. It is named after American Revolutionary War hero Casimir Pulaski.
    Pulaski Road was originally known as 40th Avenue. In 1913 it was renamed for Peter Crawford, an early area landowner, in order to avoid duplication of the 40th Street name in the city. The name Crawford Avenue lasted until 1935 when, over local opposition and a legal battle all the way to the Illinois Supreme Court, the street was renamed for Pulaski.

    It starts at the intersection of 24th St. and Pulaski and goes north all the way to intersection with Diversey Ave..

      I would've started from 31st and gone up to North Ave, after that the danger drops drastically. Appreciate the video nonetheless!

    There's one building you passed, at the northwest corner of Pulaski and Washington, that looks like it might be a good place for new apartments... if enough money could be gathered to fix it up. Judging by all the broken windows, I suspect that would take a great deal of money.
    Thanks for the video!

    1:33 less than a block west I was born there 80 years ago. Nice Czech Bohemian neighborhood. No TV then so people in the summer would take a evening walks on 21st pl to cool off. The street ended at Kostner Ave. The Sparta Stadium was on the other side of Kostner. Grandparents live in the last apartment before the intersection. We moved West before things changed, A long time ago in a land far away.

    Sometimes its a small world. I was born in 1944 on 21st pl west of Pulaski. In 1969 Basic training at Ft Leonard Wood MO. On night watch the two of us started talking. Wound up he was from the same area - he was black.
    The two things I remember most was when he said it was really clever to burn Whitey out in 68. Now the local stores were gone he had to drive to shop.
    The other was he went for a job in Cicero. He got off the bus and some guys informed him he got off at the wrong stop.
    When I went in in 69 it was hard to get past 1st base with a girl. Got out in 71 and it was free love.
    It was a strange time.

      @stephenkammerling9479 ปีที่แล้ว

      ​@@brianbeecher3084 I remember that heat wave well. There were several days in succession when temperatures were above 100. It's common for Chicago to go years without temperatures going to 100 or higher, but there are plenty of high eighties and nineties with high humidity. Lake Michigan doesn't cool things off that much during a heat wave because wind is from southwest. You need to go around the lake to the Michigan side for cooler temperatures.
      Unfortunately many of the people who died during the 95 heat wave locked themselves in their homes and shut the windows for security even if they didn't have AC. They must have thought it wouldn't get that hot with windows closed, obviously wrong. Of course many of those who died were elderly and/or were in poor health.
