I went to high school in Elgin in the mid-60's. Don' recognize much except old EHS(my alma mater) & Sears Tower(I used to work in an office there as a student at ECC). Guess it's changed. Oh well. Interesting. I f anybody has any old movies or videos of Elgin from the 50's or 60's to post, I would like to see those.

Elgin has changed quite a bit since then. Elgin has a great variety of architecture that I think people are just now starting to rediscover and appreciate. If you scroll down the "related videos" column, there is a silent video of JFK when he gave a campaign speech in 1960. Also, there is an hour long video on sale about the history of the Elgin and the watch company. you might be able to order it from the Elgin Historical Society.

I grew up in Elgin, it's changed so much, looking so much better. Elgin's architectural treasures are so many! That's one thing that I love most about that city, so much potential and so much to see as far as history is concerned.

I agree. I hope that Elgin can once again be the great city that it once was. Even though Elgin has gotten better over the years, it still has that bad reputation that it has to overcome. Elgin will get through it.
