Well I had no idea that 67th was that far a stretch of roadway that ended up at Lake Michigan, I’m very impressed. As a kid I remember that come every September, it was my favorite ritual, driving from 79th and Pulaski to 67th and S Western Avenue, car dealership row, when the new cars were in the showrooms & brochures to collect on them all, from McManus Chevy, Tony Piet Pontiac, Bowers Dodge, Van Male Buick, Burke Ford, McCarthy Lincoln Mercury, Parkey Rambler, Gage Chrysler Plymouth, and Hames Oldsmobile, how lucky could a little kid get back in the sixties. I had cousins that lived half a block off 67th near Kedzie Avenue, because they were walking distance from the Nabisco plant so you could smell Oreo cookies from there, yeah, that’s wonderful as well. I’d love to see a video on driving through the New Town area better known as Boys Town, Andersonville, Clark St right into the heart of the Loop, maybe even Ashland Avenue, I just find these videos way too cool!!!
grew up off of lawndale/66th place off of marquette road. 1971-2013. Pulaski/Marquette road. The currency exchange was a gas city gas station. then it turned into a blockbuster. now currency exchange. the opposite corner was a bread store and i believe a chinese restaurant? the corner of lawndale and marquette road had a pretty big house on the corner but it burned down in the late 90s? it's still an open lot. a little past that on the right there was a 2 flat house with a small local store in it. but by mid 1970s that was gone. i never felt safe going to friend's house going south taking lawndale so i would always take hamlin. couldn't tell you why but off of lawndale creeped me out.
Hi Nathaniel thanks for watching. I couldn't do Foster Ave this time I apologize. Depleting my footage library concurrently while anticipating for equipment upgrade. I will definitely get there soon. Thank you again.
Wtf have you people done to a great neighborhood? It didn’t look like this when I grew up there so so sad! But we had fathers and mothers with morals and jobs! 69th and Wood st. Great place to grow up and have children, no one getting murdered and raped then!
I saw 3 of my homes...From 50-60 years ago. Now I live in Oregon and I remember the sequence of the Chicago streets. Has not changed much. Thank you.

The numerous usages of goldenrod bricks is intriguing.

this video literally begins roughly a 5 min walk to where I used to live...I know that area very well.
I want to go back home so bad. I hate here in PHX AZ

Wow $2.35 a gallon must've been nice driving then
