Chicago then was not Chicago now. Our lovely lakefront with its museums, parks, bike trails - all that used to be factories, smokestacks, trains spewing smoke, horses (and their uh...you know) and factory waste being dumped straight into the river and lake. ![]() This basically is where Millennium Park is today. The same space in 1965: Check this out. Illinois Center & The Hyatt? Factories. NBC Building & 401 N Michigan Avenue? Soap factory & warehouse. Hybrid cars? Nope. Muddy streets, horses & their "leave behinds" ? You bet your nose this city was stinky. Doesn't it make you appreciate where we are today?
