Traveltalks - 1948 Chicago the Beautiful

i am proud to say i am still a resident and always will be in Chicago the most beautiful and the best history in the world all in one Chicago is the best!!!

The Palmolive Building had at its top the Lindberg Beacon, When Palybot bought the building, the beacon became the Palyboy Beacon. Lost of memories here, although if you delve into it, or have lived there a while, you know the city, Cook County and Illinois are sinkholes of corruption. Left there 2 years ago - miss the metro area and all the attractions, but do mot miss King Richard II and his satraps in the county and in Springfield.

Wow! Long before my time here. No Hancock, Sears tower, etc... Thought the Barclay bldg? was always Playboy Tower.

Chicago was a beautiful city then and it still is Glad it is my hometown!!

love Chicago, best city

It was the Marlboro billboard as you entered downtown on Ohio. Long gone. Now a series of different regualr billboards.

TheJRumble, What the fuck are you talking about?
I've never heard such irrelevant dribble in my life!
With that I only have one question for you. Just exactly what is the color of the sky in your world? Go take a look. I'm sure there is at least a small window in that padded cell of yours. For God sakes....take your medication.

It's a beautiful sight for these old tired eyes. My first and only real love. It does bring me back to the day my sister's poodle 'BeBe' was struck by one of them street cars. Poor little bastard never had a chance wedged up under that braking system. The yelping, squealing, and screaming was horrible. She smoldered under there for a good 1/2 hour before we could pry her loose. Besides that I love my city.

no brutalism, no vancouverism... it's like paradise.
