- A fast paced tour of Chicago in 1970, with Shelley Long (before Cheers) and Spencer Milligan (before Land of the Lost). All the Chicago sites in this groovy time machine of the past. The couple is followed from morning to night. See the sites by day, the action by night. O'Hare airport, Rush Street, Michigan Avenue, the Outer Drive, the beaches, Lake Michigan, the Skyway, Shubert Theater, the Pump Room, the Wendella tour boat, ships at port, Museum of Contemporary Art, "L" trains, The Art institute, Field Museum, and some psychedelic dancing to finish the day. From 16mm film, faded, color corrected by Resolve.
Long was a popular TV personality in Chicago in the 70's...she became the spokesperson for a furniture store there, and continued doing their commercials even after CHEERS became a hit.
Didn't know that!
Shelley Long was TV personality in Chicago in the 1970s, Then, She played Diane Chambers in Cheers in the 1980s, and she appeared in many films like The Money Pit, The Brady Bunch movie, and The very Brady Sequel.
Outstanding. It’s somewhat rare to see 70s footage of Chicago since New York gets more attention. Amazing how a lot of the city looks basically the same.
Thank you!
I'm here because Wesley Eure (Land of the Lost) shared this on his Facebook page.
Thanks. That was much more entertaining than I thought it might be. I was expecting a dull travelogue, but fortunately this has more of the leftover psychedelic feel of the era, which leads to some good moments. I especially enjoyed them running around the museum. You can already see here what a natural comedian Shelley was.
Glad you enjoyed it!
September, 1969. Shelley Long was so adorable, I can't stand it.
Fantastic City. Been to Chicago twice. Detroit twice too. I also have been to New York City and Los Angeles. Both three times. Chicago and Detroit are much better and have much more than what they are negatively stereotyped from the media to be.
So great, thanks for sharing two people from my childhood and wonderful tribute to the city where I grew up.
Our pleasure!
Love Chicago now.. But there is so much from the 70s sadly that is gone!
Interesting and beautiful footage, especially of Shelley! This pre-dates her earliest TV or film credits by 5 years. Her bio says she quit college to pursue modeling, so I assume she was picked for this on the basis of her modeling work. She would've been about 20 years old here. The film gets very Austin Powers-y near the end. 😂
My dream is to visit CHICAGO & DETROIT...
Shelley Long what a beauty she was
Once upon a time in America, Chicago was a safe and lovely city. No more.
Chicago murder total 1970 = 831
Dude, the crime rate was through the roof in 1970. Reality check.
@@adamcarston7278 Here's your reality check: home.chicagopolice.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/1971-Annual-Report.pdf
@@martyrobinson6379 Thanks for supporting my claim with statistics. Listen, I assume you're old and just looking through rose-colored glasses, but Chicago's murder rate hovered around or above 1,000 deaths a year in the 1970s. So this was paradise? Was this safe?
@@adamcarston7278 You’re right. I am old. And 1970 was a poor example. I should have gone back further in my years to 1960, when the murder/homicide rate was 10.3 per 100,000, or 1950 when it was 7.9, or 1940 when it was 7.1, as compared to 28 per 100,000 in 2020.
One of my post-prom dinners was at Kon Tiki Ports. I didn't get that kind of service, if I recall..
This appears to have been filmed in 1969, judging by the dates on the Wrigley Field marquee.

6:40 Is that Hermoine Gingold in the Pump Room with Uncle Oscar?
Did United do this for other cities?
I'm not sure if United did this for other cities. Maybe someone will shed light on this in the comments.
The music is fantastic! Any idea of who the composer is?
No Idea...any music researchers out there?
@@MoviecraftInc That's okay, just curious. Probably very hard to identify or track down without info in the credits.
