Part of the story is that the people who lived in that area made a living wage working in the steel mills and since they had money to spend, business thrived. In 1960 a person with just a high school education could get a job pushing a broom in a mill and be able to afford to buy a house, support a wife and two kids and have money left over to buy a muscle car. But the mills - which produce even more these days than they did back then- are mostly automated now, they only need 5~10% of the workforce they once had. The owners of the mills increased profits by eliminating workers, and the community went to hell.
They just tore everything down, and replaced it with nothing. Empty lots, sitting for decades now. Genova calls it “progress”. Bars were the lifeblood of that town.
@@ausetmcchristion-thomas1522 Any tax money from the bars is gone, and the city has to pay for all the taverns they bought and the demolition of those establishments. Now Calumet City has murders and drug problems. Genova calls that "progress!?!"
That's nice. He read some bad news in the paper, and decided to destroy the town, and send the residents packing. Now it's so much safer - not! And he's pleased with himself. I grew up on State Line Road. As a ten-year-old, I went bar to bar shining shoes, down State Line to State Street and back. Never had any problems then, or until the time I left town in the early eighties. When I came back, the bars were gone, and the place was a dump. I know no one who lives there now, the town I grew up in. Sad.
What a find to encounter this bit of history! I went to high school in Calumet City in the 50's and spent many Friday nights at John's Pizza, so it was great to both see the pictures and a hear the history. This was especially enlightening because I drove through town over a decade ago while attending a TF high school reunion and could find neither John's nor "the strip". The old places on the strip weren't just closed down---there was no evidence that there had ever been anything standing there. Given the colorful history of the area and the impression it made on me as a teenager, the vacuum I encountered was a rather disappointing end to my nostalgic trip back to adolescent stomping grounds.
i remember going to dots hob nob we lived on hirsch right off sibley. dotty would serve us we might a been 16 yrs old she never even carded us but we grew up there and never even thought about it.
HA. river oaks villa was my first apartment 50 years ago. i had forgotten the name of that place till i saw you talk about it. did they tear that place down?
I was in high school in Hammond Indiana in the mid 50s. For a year or two I had a job with the Western Union telegraph office on State Street in Hammond delivering telegrams on my bicycle. The telegraph office was just one block from State line Road, the road that separated Indiana from Illinois and separated Hammond from Calumet city. The dive bars, strip clubs and nightclubs occupied a two block area on State Street starting at State line Road. On several occasions I had to deliver telegrams to people living somewhere on those two blocks, usually to young women who probably worked as B-girls or strippers in those bars and clubs. I remember being somewhat afraid to go into that area because of its reputation, but never had any problems. I lived in Munster Indiana, the town immediately south of Hammond. I remember that there was a woman living on our same street and attending the same church Who would from time to time ask my dad to accompany her to find and Drag home her husband Who was out on a drunk at one of those bars or clubs on the strip in Calumet city.
I used to play music at one of the Night Clubs in Cal City, years ago called Mary's Place….. Good Times….. We played from 9:30 to 3:30, 6 hours! That was pretty standard in Cal City…. The Clubs in Indiana would close at 2:00 or 2:30 and everyone would come across the state line to party……Those were different times……...
Hi Chuck... I didn't know him......... During those times some of the Musicians that played over there were Ralph Posey, Mike Catsban (Stoney Creek), The Hazzard County Band, Johnny Phipps......... That was in the late 1970'S.....
Never had a bad time in Cal City!!! I still hit Tombstone Inn and the new Harry O's on Burnham every now and then...... I could use a cold beer right about now....
It must’ve been a few years that you haven’t been in Cal city because Herriott’s has been gone for almost 2 years now on Burnham Avenue and I could use a cold beer right now to
Grew up on Wentworth in the late 50's early 60's, until we moved to Munster. We were just down the street from the ice cream place (can't remember the name). We'd go to John's almost every week. Anybody remember The Spot on State Line across from St Margaret's? That was my aunt's bar... she knew everybody in town. Teenagers, we'd go hang out at Hegewisch Records ... the guys there liked us and always got us the best seats at all the Chicago concerts. Back for visits in the 70's we hung out at Bobby McGee's. Yep, the end of an era.
The ice cream place you're thinking about was it called "The Melody Maid"? Grew up on Ingraham Ave. right behind the place.. Yes great memories of Cal City..Went to Hegewisch records all the time when it was in Hegewisch, when Joe & Richie ran it... Loved their prices for both albums & concert tickets..
I'm Purdy sure my dad had a go-go girl tavern on State Strret...lol I remember it as a kid in the 70s... taverns everywhere... my relatives all grew up in taverns & or owned one... crazy... too bad its a cesspool of minority & gangs... can't evan drive down my childhood road without getting shot... thank God we got out in the 80s... ughhh
My mom managed John Peeks club. Club 300 & another club I can’t remember the name.. my sister & aunt danced at that club.. I use to go to the club when my mom was cleaning & she’d let me dance on the stage.. I use to get all the old 45s out of the jukebox.. when my family got off work in the middle of the night they’d run home & get me so I could eat breakfast with everyone after they got off work.. I remember a biker named Tiny & one named Terry my family was good friends with.. I knew alot of the cab drivers by name. My favorite was Oscar.. & that restaurant I think it was called Johns , they had the best rice pudding..
Yeah mayor you did a great job cleaning up calumet city . The town is a total shit hole now days not safe to walk the streets during the day or at night . I grew up in calumet city 1975 to 1990 what a great town it once was . Grew up on Merille ave . Id still be living in calumet city today if I need not say more .
That saxophone in the background, though playing a good song, is both distracting and annoying. I can't believe the makers of this video would think it's a good idea to have background music during an interview. Any good film maker knows that music is used for punctuation and to set a mood. It is not supposed to be a wall-to-wall experience.
Nino's Pizza, Pano's Big Boy, Mike's Restaurant, Goldblatts, I remember my Grandpa used to say let's go for a Walk... Downtown Hammond when I was a kid. Obviously we lived in Cal City he bought me a wallet when I was little with a picture of Donald Duck pooping and it said No Shit or something. They took it away from me when I went to school the next day 😂😂😂😂 those where the days and he loved State Street.
John's had to be one of the best places to eat. Waitress's from Gino's Steak House would go to John's after work and finish up the night there. Me included. One of the best. And "yes", I remember as a kid in highschool driving thru Cal City with a carload of highschool chums to get a sneak peek at the dancing girls on the bar. Ha, Ha, Ha.
Watching the Whiskey a Go Go being torn down makes me very sad. I spend a Christmas Eve in there on night with a good friend and the dancers all wore Santa Hats and were extra nice to the customers. Who would want to go to this place now and why?
My parents would sneak away from Aurora to Cal City back in the '50's when they were dating and my mom could drink underage. I enjoyed this video but the sax in the background playing "Misty" over and over is annoying.
my dad ran the rondavous back in the day for the mob until they got him on tax evasion. i have a great shot of him in a zoot suit outside the club by his car.
Wondering if Jerry Janiga was a Detective on the Cal City PD in 1973.I believe he would come to the Clarks gas station on Homan across from the park in Hammond Indiana.
They need a Studio Movie Grill and some restaurants like Panda, Panera, and a Papa John’s. With the ghost town of Hammond, maybe they should put in a mini Branson-like entertainment complex. Knock down the stores and build theaters. Not sure who would go there. But people go to the casinos in the worst cities there.
....and had a "getaway" house there. He pretty much owned State Street during Prohibition. My Great-Grand Uncle owned a bottling plant on State Line Street, just down the road....think they did business??
What year did the SC's close? Never went here, I did hit some in Hammond and Gary around 94/95. Most of the SC's these days are just fancy money pits, all tease, no action.
No mention of all the gangs I have been hearing so much about lately!! evidently they don't visit the strip now it's cleaned up?? Must be up on Burnham ave...or State street??
It’s still racist, Just the other way around. I’m treated like shit everywhere I go because I’m white. It’s still my city too, Yes, black folks are racist just like white, hispanic, asian folk etc are. Racism plagues every race, unfortunately I can attest to this. Also, I have a problem with you making a blanket statement like “everyone there was archie bunker in 70s and 80s,” my grandparents lived there from 1947 to currently (grandmother now) and they were anything but “archie bunker.”. That talk is total garbage.
@@donnix768 I’m speaking facts. I grew up on a 159th street between Paxton, & Greenwood ave ( Village Green). It was predominantly black. In the early 80’s we used to play softball in summer leagues that was all over Cal City. We used to go to Memorial Park, & fight those Archie Bunkers all the time. They were the white people with long hair & heavy metal T-shirts. Same goes for by Friar Tucks, the neighborhood behind Shakeys. You know that I’m speaking truth.
@@fo11773 where was section 8. Not in Village Green. 90% of the parents where Chicago public school teachers. There was a program that gave them incentives to move there in the 70’s & 80’s. Definitely not the Park condos behind Outback. Section may have been in the Villa( Ginger Ridge) off of 147th.
Ahh, all the negative comments are false, I live in Calumet city, near state line, its still safe , I mean you get your regular crime here and their, but not as bad as some people are saying, let me guess, the are all white lol
Never made it here, remember Cicero Ave in the early 90's but everything is gone now. Just a few lame overpriced strip clubs here and there. Adult entertainment of today is a joke! What is like here now? A run down dump with boarded up stores?
Back when Cal City was White. Hate to say that but it’s true. Just like every other south suburb...they were all great places to grow up at one point. Harvey had Rubes Sportsman’s Club and a great little downtown. Dolton was a nice town to start a family. Riverdale, Phoenix, Dixmoor, Robbins, etc. Back when they were all White. Once the White families started moving out and other families moved in, the towns went to absolute hell. I’ve lived in Lansing for 37 years and it’s well on the way to being the next Harvey or Markham, mark my words. TF South is only 16% White kids, 17% Hispanic. Take a wild guess what the rest is? Damn shame. I know people won’t like this comment but I call it how it is, and how I see it. Tired of the PC snowflakes nowadays.
Just say you think Black and Latino families are trash and go. White flight and the end of factory jobs that moved out of town was the cause of Calumet City's decline. God forbid you name racism and economic factors as the causes. Lol at you boo-hooing that bars run by mobsters are demolished.
Growing up in Calumet City in the 60s and 70s, many families and their cousins lived within blocks of each other - some right next door.
Ahhhhhh, the good ol' days.
My Mom was a dancer at a club in Calumet.
Thatsa aparta my childhood

Double decker pizza. They sponsored our 16" softball team in the 80s
Had many a pizza
There is still one in orland park or tinley one of them ... Good pizza what what block olgesby and sibley
Yes the owner lived in my block In Burnhamand I worked there as did my sister for several years. Awesome pizza still one in Orland Park

It’s always interesting hearing more about Calumet City! BTW, the founder of John’s Pizzeria, Phil Bacino, was a Mafioso of substantial weight.
Miss original John's. They had/have one in Munster later, but not the same as original.
i remember going to dots hob nob we lived on hirsch right off sibley. dotty would serve us we might a been 16 yrs old she never even carded us but we grew up there and never even thought about it.
Progress never came sadly. Too bad, so much history lost. It could have been a tourist goldmine had they preserved the history and cleaned it up.

Ended up in the same place
He acted like him too, ended up in jail.
