4:00 this is incorrect. I am a utility locator in the city of Chicago and gas lines are not 2 ft in the ground they are typically four to five feet in the ground. And these are the gas lines from back in the '60s and the '70s old cast iron ductile iron and steel. They are about 4 to 5 ft underground not 2 ft.

Truth about Lake Street, the high rise apartment building at Lake and Canal in particular. I worked on that project, the original buildings were razed and their original foundations were excavated. Including Lake Street to allow new sewer and utility lines for the 40 story new project. Lake Street went down 30 or more feet with different layers of road! Cobble Stone's, 12" wood planks, gravel, it went on and on!

We as kids had tunnels under our home with 2 lots on each side of our house . My grandpa had Coal carts and they delivered under the city ,from neighborhood to neighbors. We some times came up the man holes to see where we were. Many were lighted because the delivery men had to see where they were. Those tunnels ran long and far. We took our Dogs Flash lights Sling shots for rats we may encounter ,with plenty of rocks marked our tunnel for the day and explored. It was amazing I often tell stories of my travels to my grandkids . Loved those days .❤BLESSINGS ALL 🙌

@toguro1009 what was worse is Mayor Ritchie Daley hired his brother in law John Kenny of Kenny Construction to repair it? The contractor that did the damage, recommended plugged the hole immediately with "Mattresses". What Kenny didn't understand and I didn't either at the time, was the Mattresses he referred to is not a bed mattress? What they meant was a erosion mattress that's 1' foot thick and about 15'x15' in dimension that's filled with sand pockets? It's waterproof and would have plugged the hole temporarily! John Kenny didn't understand and sent his workers scrambling to find all the bed Mattresses he could, including 100's of them from nearby Hospitals! Only to see it didn't stop the Chicago River pouring in, and there was a bunch of Mattresses floating down river! LOL 😆 you can't make this up? 🤣 Plus Kenny Construction was charging 1 million dollars a day to do it!

my friends house has been around since either the 1900s or slightly before. the first floor front part used to be a bar. theres tunnels underneath that lead to the neighbors house which also used to be a bar. ive heard theres multiple tunnels that lead to his house but sadly its bricked off. when you go in the basement you can see an outline of an entrance because its bricked off with different type and color bricks. also a cool thing i found is a music catalog from 1925 with a ton of songs and a box full of records from 1903 to 1937

There’s a large network system under Madison & Pulaski. There was a large underground mall that used to be there. Store owners said it went down multiple layers, but they only had access to 2 or 3 of them. Also, some of the floors down there had elaborate tile work. Whatever was down there, wasn’t random tunnels. Some of the columns and floor tiles were too elaborate.

My uncles bar has a doorway that was bricked off for who knows how long until he tore it down in the early 2000's in order to gain access. They were used for the same thing. Speakeasy's and Bootlegging, one of our dinner/casino is in the basement of a building. And it was a speakeasy back in the day as well.

Chicago is a city that perfectly blends history, culture, and modernity. With towering skyscrapers like the Willis Tower and John Hancock, Chicago offers an impressive skyline. But it’s not just about the architecture - the streets here are always alive, from late-night jazz concerts to outdoor music festivals, creating an atmosphere filled with creative energy. And let’s not forget Chicago’s iconic deep-dish pizza - a must-try when visiting this vibrant city. Chicago is a place not only to explore but also to feel, where the stories of the past merge with the dynamic rhythm of the present. Also, my channel features some interesting science videos, so if you're interested, feel free to check it out!

We used to own a restaurant/lounge on the corner Clinton and Adam’s street Chicago ,from the early 90’s till the 2000’s. Across from Union station , with vaulted side-walks going all the way past Halted street.. I found many ‘ things from the 1920’s, including stamped old liquor bottles ,brass coat room tags , including many treasures from those roaring days. Eventually put up a concrete wall for overall safety. All our cooling, an old beer shoot, a prep kitchen , our office and all storage was or went underground. A fascinating popular spot with wonderful regular customers from all kinds of life.

I am a sub-contractor and currently have been doing work at a building that was proposed in 1913, not sure how long it took to build but the building is most definitely 100+ years old. 25 E. Washington. Was curious what your thoughts are on these older buildings. Miles and miles of dead or unused pipe within, buried in the floors, walls, old water columns. What was it like making proposals in the 90s? Did you do entirely new builds or renovations on these older buildings?

I was born in Chicago but grew up in far western St. Charles, in Kane County. Capone had a Speak Easy out in the woods in St. Charles called The Hideaway. Capone would hide liquor in the catacombs of the beautiful Baker Hotel in downtown St. Charles and then float barges of boozer up the river to The Hideaway. Sadly, the Hideaway closed it's doors in 2012 when the Brooks family could no longer keep it up. The Baker Hotel was the subject of a very disappointing televised event to "Crack open Capone's Vault." Anyone who worked in that building knew there probably wasn't anything in it. As it turns out, there wasn't.

It sounds like a great place for someone to stage occasional escape room scenarios, especially if so much of it is currently unused and "off limits." If some parts of it can be redeveloped into commercial space, why not others? If it's there anyway, put it to productive use. It will even have the added benefit of ensuring that those spaces will be maintained for generations to come.

I am going to add a detail to this video that he missed, likely because he is not a local. But a lot of suburban Chicagoland locals also miss this as well: Wacker drive is THREE (3) levels. Not two (2), like mentioned in this video. Upper Wacker, which is the street level. Lower Wacker, which is the main underground level that is made famous in Blues Brothers and the Batman movies. This section is the hidden shortcut from I-290 to Lake Shore Drive. All of the in car driving videos in this video are from this level. Lower Lower Wacker is the bottom level, the riverfront level. This level of streets is not as vast as Lower Wacker but it is large enough (and easier) to get lost in because it has dead ends. This bottom level is the freight delivery level and is famous for the Chicago Central Auto Pound. In this video, all of the footage of cars doing donuts, and the cars circling/drifting around people with the "ring of fire" was filmed down there.

A big alligator, named Ramon, that's what. In 1980 there was a documentary about it.

I've been in the deep tunnels, they had railroads down there when I visited numerous times. My mother's bf was an engineer that worked on it during the 80s. By the way, the streets of shitcago still flood every single time it rains. Literally every single time.

Chicago doesn't have a "rainy season." Pause at 7:22 and look at how the first floor of The Green Door Tavern is raked to the right. The building touches the building to the left at the ground, but angles away from it so that the second floor is about 10" away. Also, the name of the street is pronounced /oar•LEANS/ (two syllables). Get it? It's raked, so it leans!

And much of the footage from the pedway is an airport in Asia. Adding stuff for filler and a basic lack of understanding of street names takes so much away from this for me.
