Exactly. You actually get a feeling of the underlying problems of people living in the neighborhoods of Chicago. You literally feel like you are in the apartment with the people Rosemarie interviewed. There is nothing like this going on today.
Yes, and although issues are similar, the way it's reported is far different! This is just the facts of what was known about what happened. There's not a lot of supposition, nor are there any partisan politics!
@@jasonbertalotto2355 A bunch of things have been in that space since Just Games closed in 1984. It's currently a grocery store called El Amigo Carniceria. I lived about 4 blocks from Just Games when it happened. They caught the kid who did it. I'm not sure why my other comments keep getting deleted, but details on the incident are on the internet.
@@FuzzyMemoriesTV His name was "Otto Meisenheimer", he was 21 years old at the moment of his death. He received most of the shots after not leaving the place (because yes, the shooter was yelling people to leave the place before shooting). The name of the shooter was James E. Barker, a 16-year-old teenage. There's little documentation about him after the shooting, but he received a 20-year sentence in jail, so if he's still alive, he's been free for over 20 years at this point.
@@arthuridis Of all the local ABC lead anchors from that era, I'd say Fahey Flynn was cut from a similar cloth as Jerry Dunphy. Both were ebullient showmen of the news. (And they actually worked together at WBBM for a couple years.) Bill Bonds was in the same league as Van Amburg. Way more of an edgy, provocative quality about them. Roger Grimsby was in a class of his own.
@@tkaye2 I'm thinking Jac LeGoff who was a Detroit legend on the anchor desk from all 3 channels thru a 30 year time frame might be comparable to your Fahey Flynn. Same type of old school reporting
@@tkaye2 - Didn't Bonds also have a bit of WABC New York's Roger Grimsby in him? (Bill Beutel seems to have been an equivalent to both Daly and Drury, don'tcha think?)
Fahey Flynn and John Drury were also co- anchors at WBBM. John Drury would leave WLS in 1979 then return in 1984 until his retirement in 2002. Fahey Flynn died in August of 1984 two days after his 67 th birthday. John Drury died in 2007 from complications of ALS he was 80 yrs old. Steve Edwards would leave WLS the following year to Los Angeles where he still works and resides. Oprah Winfrey would take over as host in January 1984 replacing Robb Weller . The show was retitled THE OPRAH WINFREY SHOW in 1985 .
At 10:11 the then youthful Steve Edwards , host of AM Chicago usually teamed with Sandy Freeman . An odd thing, both Edwards and Winfrey 's old talk show partner in Baltimore had big afro hairstyles .
P.J. Soles was of no relation to "Spider-Man" (1967 cartoon series) voice actor Paul Soles (also a.k.a. Hermey the misfit elf in the 1964 stop-motion animation series "Rudolph, The Red-Nosed Reindeer"), by marriage or otherwise. She was once married to another Soles, however.
Yes they don’t do that anymore. I belonged to a Nautilus health club in 1977 that was owned by a woman who smoked in the club while you worked out. That doesn’t happen anymore either 😅. Sometimes we joined her for an after work out smoke. Those were the days

I never thought I would miss watching old news I saw as a little kid.
Wow. News was so much more thorough back then.

I went to high school with the young man who was killed in that arcade shooting. We were friends. Have thought about him a lot over the years.
What place replaced the arcade?
Sorry to hear that - what was his name? Did they ever catch who did it?

Fahey Flynn was old school before old school was old school
He was your version of Detroit's Bill Bonds

Walter Jacobson, Bill Curtis and John Drummond at Channel 2 were the best!

" Good evening ladies and gentlemen I'm Fahey Flynn".
When news was really news.
Love the Marriott's Great America ad as well as the man helping his wife with the laundry in the Dynamo ad.
Brings a tear to my eye.
P.J. Soles and Charlene Tilton in the Soft N Dry Commercial. Dynamo...The Little Blue Jug is DYNAMO! I remember both these commercials quite well!
HOT!!!!!!!!!!
P.J. Soles was of no relation to "Spider-Man" (1967 cartoon series) voice actor Paul Soles (also a.k.a. Hermey the misfit elf in the 1964 stop-motion animation series "Rudolph, The Red-Nosed Reindeer"), by marriage or otherwise. She was once married to another Soles, however.
I was a about nine but I do too
You can still find Dynamo in some dollar stores ❣️
Yeah, I call it eye rash spring!
Plus, I had left Chicagoland by '77
Those were the days 🙂
Fred Villanueva had stops at KNBC and KTLA in addition to his stint at WLS.
Usually most stations will keep airchecks for a year for legal purposes. I wonder if any others may have survived.
I was three and grew up in mount prospect. I had no idea there was a shooting at just games. Wow
I bet if we had body cams then, we’d find the police were lying out their asses.
Imagine news being about facts and not just whatever video was on hand.
Surprised they named the minors who were shot
Yes they don’t do that anymore. I belonged to a Nautilus health club in 1977 that was owned by a woman who smoked in the club while you worked out. That doesn’t happen anymore either 😅. Sometimes we joined her for an after work out smoke. Those were the days
7 days before Elvis died
Arcade shooting ?
Terrible crime.
A tradition, channel 7 eyewitness news at 6 and 10. Too bad Joel isn't here.
I hope y’all will reply to this this was a month and three days before my 8th birthday
I was a snot nosed four year old 😁😜
So was I.
Did the cops identify themselves!
1977
