Hidden Chicago with Geoffrey Baer

[@tsoioleg]

I've learned more about Chicago from these videos sitting in Boston than from 27 years living in Chicago.

[@ragumaexumbrainsolem4919]

ironically 😂

[@ElricX]

I see Geoffrey Baer's name I'm watching it! Quality content is guaranteed!

Some of the best video I've viewd recently. WTTW still leading the pack.

CHICAGO WAS MY HOMETOWN 1938-2002. IN MY OLD WANDERINGS ON THE WEEKENDS I CAME ACROSS A SHORT STREET JUST NORTH OF WRIGLEY FIELD. IT WAS PAVED IN COBBLESTONES, TOO NARROW FOR AUTO TRAFFIC, BOTH SIDES LINED WITH ROW HOUSES, TWO STORY. IT LOOKS LIKE A STREET RGHT OUT OF COLONIAL BOSTON. LATE 18THC, EARLY 19THC. ABSOLUTELY A MUSEUM PIECE !

I went to a Barnes and noble in Skokie and I was amazed at the history books of Chicago. A lot of stuff I didn't know

[@whiskeybuilder6335]

This is my favorite amongst a treasured collection. You have to buy the set. It's amazing!! I got mine with my subscription to WTTW Chicago.

[@daveyoung5445]

This was great so many things I didn’t know and well done

I wish people were more history conscious and did more to save the history and art from our past. And on the side my grandmother was the last elevator operator in Milwaukee.

[@hobbycatkid]

the Riverside Theater in Milwaukee still has an elevator which requires an operator.

Cemetaries are a grave subject. And why do they put fences around them? Because people are dying to get in.

Such an amazing video! I live in the northwest suburbs, but I lived in Chicago for the first eight years of my life. My parents were born and raised in Chicago. My mom lived in Jefferson Park near Montrose and Milwaukee, and my dad lived in Albany Park on Lawndale Avenue. I lived in the Dunning neighborhood by Harlem Irving Plaza. It was a very nice neighborhood. We moved to the suburbs in 2002

Please do a factual History on the "University of Chicago", and the requirements set forth by its benefactor.

[@davidkimmel4216]

Wonderful video 😊

[@maryroberts2099]

I would have loved to have gone to the Colombian Exposition

Almost disgusting how they rob the south side of so much of its beauty and culture then pretend it was nothing ever there

That Viking ship was in Grant Park not Lincoln Park

[@bobk.53755]

You are incorrect, the Viking Ship was near the south entrance in the zoo. Used to see it every summer as a kid.

I absolutely prefer the older days, late 80s early 90s early 2000s… Before a shit hit the fan… Before the digital art market bloomed… No it’s just people asking to buy digital art… NFT, I don’t understand what’s going on with this nonsense… I do a painting you buy it you cherish it you love it you put it on your wall… Why the hell would I want my artwork online digitally just so other people can profit from it? Makes no sense but that’s how things are… Really annoying
