This was great, thanks. Thanks for the captions, also. They make the video comprehensive.
Oddly I have become homesick only three years after going back home to Chicago. I spent a week driving all over town (I still don't know what I was looking for then). That shot of Harpers Court brought back memories. We used to go the Chances R and enjoy the burgers and play pong, the first video game we ever saw.
I'm glad somebody put up photos of what Chicago REALLY looked like.
What a gift, life is. Our past is filled with infinite amounts of beauty and charm.
Those were difficult times for a lot of people in the city. We were in a very bad recession and America's industrial belt began to rust.
I can do without the Japanese Garden Music. Afterall it is Chicago, not Japan
I’m surprised they didn’t show construction of the Sears tower
30. Is NOT Kinzie, that is 55th and KEDZIE.
It makes me happy and sad to watch this video. I just wish I could just jump in and live those times.
Man, a lot of those buildings are gone now.
Thank you so very much. I grew up in Chicago [1955-1979]. I fondly remember all of these scenes.
Thank you for the memories! (I grew up on the West and North sides of Chicago from '68 to '92). 😃
I loved the 1970's..........honestly......now its but a moment in time
Thank you for this I was born and raised in Chicago in 1951 Theres no place like home
1971 was my favorite year from the seventies!😶🌫️
Born and raised in the Chi.... That skyline has come a long way. Thanks for the upload! 👍🏽☺️
Thanks for posting this historical content. Despite the modern high-rise construction apparent in these photos, 1970s Chicago had a distinct industrial grit to it that is not as prominent today.
It was my once beautiful city. Started 9th grade in 1976. I had a great childhood in South Chicago represented at
This last picture is a parking building located in North Av close to wells interseccion
