    Thanks for posting these, Slide 61 is actually the parking garage at Old Town next to the old Piper's Alley theater on North ave west of Wells (about 236 w. North Ave). It's a very distinctive structure with the 1970s styled oval portholes and round light fixtures (long since removed). Also, the slide at 53 just before the Standard Oil (Aon) looks to be an unnamed alleyway possiblynear Cermak at the old RR Donnelly warehouse. Thanks a gain for posting these. subscribed.

      For starters no place you grow up in ever stays the same, so get over it. That said, I've been to today's Chicago many times and have never had an experience that has made me not want to make a return trip other than the cost of travel to get there and back.

    This video shows almost the whole city unlike the media with their video of scared tatics and fake news. Chicago is 3rd or 4th largest city in N.America and has more beautiful buildings than most other cities. I visited every year since the early 60s. The ghettos came from the Government's failed programs and drugs. Some People don't know truth. Hoosiers, Hillbillies, buckeyes always admired Chicago and many visit often. We all have a city we admire outside of our own city, and the Midwest picked Chicago!

      Ghettos existed before Government programs. You must have skipped Economics 101. I didn't.

      Great observation. For historians, cars are indeed largely what index fossils are for the paleontologist. Store signs will often be replaced only after longer spans. Hair styles may often tell one more than store signs at least in certain parts of the decades after WWII, when they seem to have been very uniform and short-lived.
