Chicago, Your History

October 3rd, 2007 @ 12:26 am by Cliffe | Sorted Links To The Pastborder
Just found out about Vintage Seattle reader Didi’s blog on Chicago called Bright Lights Dim Beauty of Chicago. Give it a read, it’s a nice chance to step out of Seattle for a bit and explore the history of another great city. Be sure to read her post on Suicide Secrets Of The Stevens Hotel — reminds me of the Stephen King movie I just saw called 1408. I’m thinking the Your History feature is a good way to find out about other parts of the US of A, so let’s keep this as a regular thing. And now for a Chicago themed visual.
