OT? Chicago 1948 Date: 09-07-2009 By: Pro2am	Well, this isn't Hammond, but I'd imagine that most of us who lived in the Calumet Region had visited downtown Chicago at one time or another. And even if we hadn't, the city's influence was strong upon us in many ways. Plus, this forum seems to have the most visitors and rack up the most views, so I thought I'd post this here. :) Mike Rapchak Jr. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaMGqzkNwLY	4

I think every one of us has spent at least a few hours here and there in the Windy City, most likely, and living right next to Chicago is part of our heritage. McCormick Place, Field Museum, Museum of Science and Industry, Shedd Aquarium, Wrigley Field, Comiskey Park, Soldier Field, River View Amusement Park, Brookfield Zoo, and the Prudential Building are just a few of the places that most of us can relate to. Most of us listened to WLS or WCFL out of Chicago. Chicago definitely was part of our lives. Thanks for the link. Tomster
