Enjoyed the film.

My hometown. South Side.

3.5 million and another million in suburbs. That was then. Now it’s 2.7 million in the city and 6 million in the suburbs.

Thank you for sharing your cool film with us.

Love the shot at the end of the old lake steamer on the Chicago River.

So, this was 2 years before I joined the living folks of Chicago, don't know if I really wanted what I see now in 2021 !

The Stockyards Are Long Gone

What a different Chicago this was. I couldn’t help but notice that there were almost no fat people and how much people must have walked in those days. Thanks fast food!

@@dave1956 Ha Ha. I'm downtown Chicago and I just saw dude walk past wearing a business suit and a LA Dodgers baseball hat. WHAT A FREAK!!! Like that. Good old days when people would ridicule other people that didn't look like everyone else. Gone forever "unfortunately". FOL

The Santa Fe Railroad's name shows up at least four times on locomotives and their office building. I suspect they may have had a hand in funding this film.

Also, some of the background music is the same as used in a Santa Fe promotional movie on the "Super Chief."

@@WAL_DC-6B Interesting. But that may only be because both films were by "Dudley Pictures" who might have used the same music in a lot of films.

It was my kind of city. Not now.

Well at least no more coal burning in peoples' homes, businesses and railroad steam locomotives.

and today a ruin in the making

How-2 become a race among the ruins. New England enriched only to be left to fools who invited disaster. I mean the Fools who fought the Beer War. Believe in your middle class and give up what ever keeps people down. I know I fell as low as I could go. My own race in/out of the ruin, Brian Koller
