VIDEO: Chicago circa 1930


Vintage footage filmed around 1930, captured Chicago's budding skyline, scenes from Lake Michigan, and old-time cars driving down Michigan Avenue.

Also in the video, are shots of Navy Pier (600 East Grand Avenue) and the lot where The Art Institute of Chicago (111 South Michigan Avenue) now resides.

  4. Best thing is I don't see any crackheads lying on the sidewalk weakly reaching out in their death throes begging for change
