Chicago, Illinois recent comments:

  • John Spry Community School, Sandy S. (guest) wrote 12 years ago:
    I used to live on Albany Street & went to school at Spry from 1966-71, graduating from 8th grade there. When we moved out of the neighborhood (the day of my graduation), it was getting scary living there. I used to get shaken down for money fairly regularly while walking home from school. While I got a fairly decent education at Spry, some of the teachers had almost no control over their classes. I was bullied quite a bit and was very relieved when I was told we were moving out of the area & I would not have to go to Harrison High School (which was across the street from Spry). I've not been back to the area since graduating & have no plans on visiting either. I imagine many of my teachers have passed on by now. I would like to get in touch with a few of them, though, if possible. The one teacher who influenced me most was my 5th grade teacher, Mr. Schermer. He made learning fun & encouraged us to excel. Wish all teachers had his enthusiasm for teaching.

  • Emmett Till Math & Science Academy, Frank (guest) wrote 13 years ago:
    The Newman map is correct - it was known as James McCosh School until 2006, when the name was changed to honor Emmett Till, who was a student there.
  • New underground location of U505, Cosmos 9000 (guest) wrote 13 years ago:
    wrong location. According to the museum map (http://www.msichicago.org/visit-the-museum/museum-map/), the sub is under the structure to the upper-right of the main building. I believe this is the parking garage.

    As you can see in the links below, alfred's car is approaching the bridge from the SOUTH. Also, Bruce's bike takes off from under the bridge and heads NORTH. This proves that the location is SOUTH of the bridge, not North. http://moviemaps.org/images/2nv http://moviemaps.org/images/2nw

  • Chicago Skyway Bridge, nx9100 (guest) wrote 13 years ago:
    in reality, the bridge DOES include the long approaches to the metal truss structure outlined. Can't remember the details, but it was done on purpose due to some loophole in the rules reguarding toll roads at time it was built. so the skyway bridge includes the entire length of the approaches too.
