S&H Green Stamps! I remember as a kid my mother had several booklets of those.

One minute in and I'm already awash in a sea of nostalgia. I used to live a block away from the Color Tile at 7100 W 79th Street. I could see it from my front door.

Wow! What a flashback The News, and those commercials!! I was in grade school when that cold front came through. But for a kid it was exciting, I was happy because all that snow wasn't going anywhere.

Just seeing this news cast video reminds me of those loooonnnnngggg cold waits on the "L" platform-Lol!

Everything about this is so nostalgic. Thank you ❤

Definitely remember this, no school! Watched Benny Hill on 32 after this.

​@@cccalllThat sounds like a hell of a lot of fun.

I remember that well! Our thermometer at home showed -27 on one of those days. I had installed dual batteries in my van, and was one of the VERY few people out on the roads. Went to my girlfriends house and tried to jump start her and many of her neighbors cars, most with no luck. Moved to AZ in 1982. Now, I freeze at anything below 70. I've become a major wuss!

A John Wayne Gacy update! Oh wow!!!

RIP Joel Daly

I was 7 years old in Wadsworth. Endless outdoor fun for a kid. I loved it!!

Same here lol. I turned 50 last June. Man, we’re getting old lol.

Hated the blizzard of ‘79. I had to get to work every day. The blizzard of ‘67 was much more fun. No school. We built forts in the alley out of the mountains of snow the plows left. Then we’d run home and defrost with moms home cooking. Heaven on earth!

Wow! My dad always watched channel 7 news when we lived in Aurora. I remember the Big Freeze mostly because I have a recording from KQX mentioning the weather. The DJ said that the temperature was -26° in the middle of the afternoon and that he couldn't take it anymore. I also remember driving around on "square" tires until they warmed up and the flat spot defrosted.

this was 1 day before the great blizzard of '79!

Besides being a journalist Joel Daly fronted an irish folk band Joel Daly and the Sundowners.

They we're a fixture at the annual Irish Fest at the Gaelic Park In Oak Forest, IL on memorial Day weekend.

John Coleman would later join ABC News as meteologist on "Good Morning America".

I loved this team when I was a kid, Joel and Fayeh Flynn (SP?) and John Coleman.

In the opening I used to replay this over and overlooking for CHICAGO when those names flew by...then I realized it was the first name😂

Terry Murphy was on our channel 2 in the early 1970s and the channel 7 intro was our intro also

Ohhh I was there. Moved to Dallas after this…

I was eight years of age still, I turned 9 in March of 1979

models sure aren't too beautiful these days and it it aired on January 10th 1979 this was 4 days before the "blizzard of 79" and after the New Years Eve snowstorm (the weatherman mentioned a small storm coming, boy, was he wrong)

Gold Coast burglary ring, huh? The more things change…

John Coleman Weather Experience!!

Joel Daly looking like, where are those suburban town names popping out of the screen behind me in the opening, where they come from?! 🤷🏾

When did A&P go out of business? Also, the annoyed man in the LaChoy commercial is the same man who gets annoyed in the right guard commercials, when some guy on the other side of his medicine cabinet greets him in the morning. He would call for his wife, Mona, at the end. Those commercials are on KZread.

Oprah got her start on AM Chicago. Loved watching her back then!

On the twilight zone when doing a few episodes by video after the director claps The slate it makes a beeping noise ?

Is that Chuck Woolery doing the A&P voiceover?

5:30 -- Hear the archetypal Chicago accent, uttered by the court guard.

I was nearly seven months old when this aired, I don't remember a thing. My family doesn't have any outdoor pictures of those days either, but there are a couple of me as a toddler from the following winter when there was a pretty deep snowfall.

I was born the next day!

Terry Murphy was hot.

I hated it could bot go any wgere stay in house to cold

I was 1 about to turn 2 in a few months

Thank god I moved away from Chicago in the mid 80's. Life has been good in the desert southwest. My kids are grown and I'm close to retirement.

Haha rob Weller I remember you where you go? O yeah Oprah took over.

since when is a clown a respectable business man

The eyewitness news theme music is overly dramatic...lol

never was a big ABC fan
