Chicago, Illinois recent comments:

The conversion of these buildings to condominiums was completed in 2005 (ish) and this complex has become a beautiful, family friendly neighborhood.

It was originally Mandel Brothers, then Wieboldt's (1960-1987). It was never a Goldblatt's.

Closed

This is also the former Tucker Motors plant.

This site is still fenced off and has advertising for realestate and other renting/buying of houses. It is still vacant.

One of the most violent parts of Chicago, apparently

Nike site C-44 Launch Site, 1955-1963. See also the control site at the south end of Wolf Lake.

FDS. Abandoned site at the north end of the SRA/north shore of the lake, where S. Wolf lake Blvd. becomes S. State Line Rd. Roads in very poor condition, main access road overgrown by vegetation. Buildings have been razed but foundations remain; double-Nike-Ajax magazines badly cracked with wild vegetation overgrowing. 41°40′34″N 087°31′40″W

Here was Luigi Patrovita's office from "Raw Deal"?

I'd love to know more about your history with the Arrigo's, in particular Adeline. I knew Adeline at the end of her life, and had the privilege of assisting her through her last days. I'm so grateful for having the time with her that I did. Oddly enough, today is the anniversary of her death, in 1993. I still miss this dear and marvelous lady today. My friendship with her was truly a gift. -----Glen Lusby

One lap around is actually exactly a 1/4 mile. When resurfaced, the track was never adjusted to 400M. As a result, the starting lines for metric events like the 1600 and 4x100 are adjusted and not at the common start/finish.

Currently in the process of being demolished. They have a security guard posted there and the place is riddled with asbestos. Probably not the best place to explore.

You are correct. It has always been A O Sexton Elementary. I graduated in 1962. My Uncle D. B. Ponder in 1936.

Is that because of the people eater and the Hillary? I was raised in Gomper's Park. The two aforementioned are NOT from my Chicago

I was born there May 24, 1961 so the birth certificate states.

Not in East Hyde Park. It is in Hyde Park proper.

Anybody know where I can purchase these quilted jackets I see people in Milwaukee wearing. It's got a big postal service patch on the back of the jacket and a smaller patch in the front of the jacket. Can someone help me out here?

This hospital was really shady in its last year of service. Very Demonic things. Just Terrible
