CHICAGO WAS MY HOMETOWN 1938-2002. IN MY OLD WANDERINGS ON THE WEEKENDS I CAME ACROSS A SHORT STREET JUST NORTH OF WRIGLEY FIELD. IT WAS PAVED IN COBBLESTONES, TOO NARROW FOR AUTO TRAFFIC, BOTH SIDES LINED WITH ROW HOUSES, TWO STORY. IT LOOKS LIKE A STREET RGHT OUT OF COLONIAL BOSTON. LATE 18THC, EARLY 19THC. ABSOLUTELY A MUSEUM PIECE !
I wish people were more history conscious and did more to save the history and art from our past. And on the side my grandmother was the last elevator operator in Milwaukee.
Such an amazing video! I live in the northwest suburbs, but I lived in Chicago for the first eight years of my life. My parents were born and raised in Chicago. My mom lived in Jefferson Park near Montrose and Milwaukee, and my dad lived in Albany Park on Lawndale Avenue. I lived in the Dunning neighborhood by Harlem Irving Plaza. It was a very nice neighborhood. We moved to the suburbs in 2002
I absolutely prefer the older days, late 80s early 90s early 2000s… Before a shit hit the fan… Before the digital art market bloomed… No it’s just people asking to buy digital art… NFT, I don’t understand what’s going on with this nonsense… I do a painting you buy it you cherish it you love it you put it on your wall… Why the hell would I want my artwork online digitally just so other people can profit from it? Makes no sense but that’s how things are… Really annoying
I've learned more about Chicago from these videos sitting in Boston than from 27 years living in Chicago.
ironically 😂
I see Geoffrey Baer's name I'm watching it! Quality content is guaranteed!
Some of the best video I've viewd recently. WTTW still leading the pack.
So much fun to learn about this most interesting city!! Thank you, WTTW and GB!!

This is my favorite amongst a treasured collection. You have to buy the set. It's amazing!! I got mine with my subscription to WTTW Chicago.
I went to a Barnes and noble in Skokie and I was amazed at the history books of Chicago. A lot of stuff I didn't know
This was great so many things I didn’t know and well done

the Riverside Theater in Milwaukee still has an elevator which requires an operator.

Cemetaries are a grave subject. And why do they put fences around them? Because people are dying to get in.
Thank you!!!
Wonderful video 😊
Almost disgusting how they rob the south side of so much of its beauty and culture then pretend it was nothing ever there
I would have loved to have gone to the Colombian Exposition
My Uncle graduation was from the Institute of Art in Chicago n designed
The Mazola Corn Oil sign n the KMART sign ....,
Ty
I think this was put out in 2008
Is that Daily News sign by the Armitage L still around? If so please lemme know address !
45:55 that’s the sound we hear now at the donut shop drive-thru.
Please do a factual History on the "University of Chicago", and the requirements set forth by its benefactor.
That Viking ship was in Grant Park not Lincoln Park
You are incorrect, the Viking Ship was near the south entrance in the zoo. Used to see it every summer as a kid.
Place the timestamps in description or comments please.
done
