  • Some are mysterious, some are beautiful and some are just plain bizarre! Geoffrey Baer takes you all over the Chicago region in search of often-overlooked fragments of our history. Many are in places you pass by every day. But when you learn their hidden stories you're sure to say "I never knew that!"

    I've learned more about Chicago from these videos sitting in Boston than from 27 years living in Chicago.

    I went to a Barnes and noble in Skokie and I was amazed at the history books of Chicago. A lot of stuff I didn't know

    This is my favorite amongst a treasured collection. You have to buy the set. It's amazing!! I got mine with my subscription to WTTW Chicago.

    Almost disgusting how they rob the south side of so much of its beauty and culture then pretend it was nothing ever there

    Cemetaries are a grave subject. And why do they put fences around them? Because people are dying to get in.

    I wish people were more history conscious and did more to save the history and art from our past. And on the side my grandmother was the last elevator operator in Milwaukee.

      the Riverside Theater in Milwaukee still has an elevator which requires an operator.

    CHICAGO WAS MY HOMETOWN 1938-2002. IN MY OLD WANDERINGS ON THE
    WEEKENDS I CAME ACROSS A SHORT STREET JUST NORTH OF WRIGLEY FIELD.
    IT WAS PAVED IN COBBLESTONES, TOO NARROW FOR AUTO TRAFFIC, BOTH SIDES
    LINED WITH ROW HOUSES, TWO STORY. IT LOOKS LIKE A STREET RGHT OUT OF
    COLONIAL BOSTON. LATE 18THC, EARLY 19THC. ABSOLUTELY A MUSEUM PIECE !

    Such an amazing video! I live in the northwest suburbs, but I lived in Chicago for the first eight years of my life. My parents were born and raised in Chicago. My mom lived in Jefferson Park near Montrose and Milwaukee, and my dad lived in Albany Park on Lawndale Avenue. I lived in the Dunning neighborhood by Harlem Irving Plaza. It was a very nice neighborhood. We moved to the suburbs in 2002

    That Viking ship was in Grant Park not Lincoln Park

      You are incorrect, the Viking Ship was near the south entrance in the zoo. Used to see it every summer as a kid.

    I absolutely prefer the older days, late 80s early 90s early 2000s… Before a shit hit the fan… Before the digital art market bloomed… No it’s just people asking to buy digital art… NFT, I don’t understand what’s going on with this nonsense… I do a painting you buy it you cherish it you love it you put it on your wall… Why the hell would I want my artwork online digitally just so other people can profit from it? Makes no sense but that’s how things are… Really annoying
