What up fam? Thanks so much for watching this video on The Chicago Grid, one of the best grid plans for a major city. Big shouts to Edward P. Brennan for the plan. What's your favorite fact about Chicago streets? Here's one - Western Avenue is so named because it was once the western border of Chicago!

Here's one which I cannot cite, Western is the longest continuous street in the world. I don't remember where I learned this piece of information but it seems pretty close to reality, from the looks of things haha. Thanks for a nice video. P.S. Where did you get your Chicago hoodie? I've been looking for something to rock on and show my Chicago swag.

Love it. Good job. My high school offered a history class strictly on Chicago. I never took it, but I heard that one test was learning the grid system and using that knowledge to find addresses on a map. I now wish I took it. Sorta reminds me of the test where prospective London cabbies must master and memorize the London streets in order to pass and get their license.

Really appreciate that! Sounds like a fun test lol. I've heard that those guys really need to learn London like the back of their hand because of all the winding roads, they don't have the benefit of a grid over there!

This is a really excellent video! Born and raised in the city and still learned new stuff in this. I would just add the 5th Ave on the West Side is actually the lowest-numbered street in the city, although you might have intentionally kept that out bc it has nothing to do with the South Side numbering. I honestly have no idea why it was named that but I’d love to find out in a future video haha

So , If King Drive is 400 east , and Cottage is 800 east what does this mean as far as the Units and Mile? In other words what is the meaning or result of me knowing this when it comes to how far cottage grove is from King drive or vice-versa?

So , Stony Island , Cottage Grove, and Jeffery are all main streets based off of how busy the street is. So what is another way that I know that cottage grove , jeffery , and Stony island are main streets? Also , If I'm driving and I stop at the red light on jeffery and Someone tells me they live on the Yates, how am I suppose to know if Yates is east or west of jeffery. Is east side always on the right and west side is on the left?

Also , for example that he gave 9500 south. Doesnt that just let me know that I'm on the south side of Madison? If it were 9500 north that would mean I'm on the north side madison. In other words 9500 south would let me know I'm on the south side of chicago?? 9500 north would mean I'm on the Northside of chicago which would be downtown? If I'm on 75th and blackstone which is after stony island , stony island is on the south side of Chicago and I know that 51st and blackstone is in Hyde Park. What does that make hyde park , does that mean hyde park is north east. If hyde park is the east side? In order for me to get to 51st and blackstone if I'm on 75th and blackstone . Does that mean that as I go from 75th to 51st that I'll end up in hyde park?
