Wow this is amazing. That's pulaski road going north by like 47th street and then they take the ramp for 55. That shipping container yard is still there. Alot of buildings still there since this video, of course alot of new development. This is 👌 awesome
That looks a like ‘49-‘51 Mercury. This video is amazing. I grew up in the SW Side Chicago and I was 20 going on 21 in 1989. Seeing stuff like the Campbell Soup plant where my grandfather was an executive. We got a lot of free soup. I’m glad you captured that huge mural of the Beatles for The Loop. I remember that particular mural. I think they also did a version of the Beatles’ Rubber Soul album on that same building. That particular summer I worked part-time at a Bismark hot dog stand, right by the water, directly across LSD from Buckingham Fountain every Sunday. Thanks for preserving this stuff and posting it for people to see. It’s strange because while looking at this video, somewhere out there that particular day, my Dad was alive, and so was my grandfather, and later that month I’d meet a girl who I’d eventually marry 5 years later. This is great stuff and I completely agree regarding your reason for removing the audio. I would have done the same thing. I think the lack of audio allows the viewer, especially if one is from these areas of Chicago, to watch and reflect where they were that particular year and who in their family was still around. Thanks again!
You're the same age as me! Thanks for sharing all your memories, too. I do remember that Rubber Soul mural, I think it was before this one...I know I have a good photo of it somewhere, went shooting some industrial photography around the area one day. Good times!

What a treasure! Thanks for sharing!
The Chicago skyline really has grown by leaps and bounds since then. WOW!
I’m sorry, but was that a street that use to run into McCormick Place, at the 5:00 mark? Today, it’s a pedestrian overpass. That is wild to see!
Sure was!
Beautiful! Thanks
