I can remember when my Dad would take me to Maxwell Street in the 80s there was Chicago Blues playing live steel garage cans burning fires and the smell of Maxwell Street pork chop sandwiches, polishes, hot dogs and hamburgers and all kinds of goods being sold at a price people could afford. Man I miss those days...
Not even CLOSE to how the original market was! Watch Blues Brothers Movie to get an idea what I’m talking about.

80s Baby Best life ever.
Chicago was famous in the 80's. Mostly for the Mafia.
Now you get the smell of crack heroin and butt butter
You can't but respect a guy, who' s cigar is bigger than himelf.
All the permits make it undesirable.
I went there in the 80's and I loved getting Maxwell street cheeseburgers. So glad they are back.
The 60's was great there and it was still pretty big . It went 5 streets wide and 4 blocks south
As a native Chicagoan I grew up shopping on Maxwell Street with my family. Parents & 2 older brothers. Graduated from Lane Tech 1963.
Did you ever get to see The Chicken Man on Maxwell Street? I regret he had passed away by the time I arrived in Chicago for education.
I went to maxwell street market today it’s fun but a bit on the small side I bought toy cars and iPhones that were outdated
Open air fun!
Spoken like a blind obedient lemming
Chicago the worst place to start a business unless you want to get tax to death
