More DescriptionFor those who grew up in Chicago during the 20th Century, especially from 1930 through the 1980s, this book will help you remember what life was like in the city and suburbs including the fact that we played games and sports in the streets, alleys, nearby parks, swam in Lake Michigan or in nearby pools, rode our bicycles, walked everywhere, dealt with the challenges of winter, enjoyed the falls, summers and springs, went to public or parochial schools, ate out at restaurants, rode the "L" downtown to enjoy the department stores and grand Balaban and Katz movie houses, spent many hours with families and friends, dated, married and had children, and, overall, enjoyed all that Chicago had to offer during those years. This book includes interviews with almost 50 Chicagoans as well and provides the reader with more than 100 black and white photos of the neighborhoods, downtown, Lake Shore Drive, and the suburbs. The book will help you recall the many things that happened in your lives during the 20th Century.
