Hidden History of Ravenswood and Lake View available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. It's easy to get caught up in the hidden history of Ravenswood and Lake View, like the Harm's Park picnic that lasted fifty-four years or the political gimmickry of the "Cowboy Mayor" of Chicago. Who can resist a double take over folk like the "Father of Ravenswood," who kept Chicago from falling to the Confederacy, or the "North Side's Benedict Arnold," who was sent to the electric chair during World War II? If you want to visit the days when the Cubs were the Spuds or debate whether Ravenswood is an actual neighborhood or just a state of mind, do it with longtime North Side journalist Patrick Butler in this curio shop of forgotten people and places.

Download and read online ebook Lake View write by Matthew Nickerson with a Foreword by Norman J. Dinkel Jr.. This book was released on 2014. Lake View available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The Lake View neighborhood, located on Chicago s north side, is known today for its celebrities, million-dollar homes, and Wrigley Field, but it was once a very different community. The English language now rules where shopkeepers once risked rebuke if they did not speak German. Expensive restaurants stand where America s celery capital once thrived. Pricey homes sell where a Chicago sausage king once committed a grisly murder. This chronicle memorializes boxing and Bishop Bernard Sheil at St. Andrew Parish, meals at Kuhn s Deli on Lincoln Avenue, the corner stores of the Terra Cotta neighborhood, and the snowstorm of 1967, capturing the spirit that helped Lake View endure troubled times to become one of Chicago s most iconic neighborhoods."

Before Lincoln Park cemented its trendy reputation, plenty of odd and unruly history managed to settle into its foundation. A Viking ship, mob henchmen and ladies of the evening all took up residence in the same part of town where Dwight L. Moody went from selling soles to saving souls. Thanks to a Confederate ferryboat crewman, many of Lincoln's personal effects belong to the neighborhood named after him. Patrick Butler uncovers Lincoln Park's forgotten contributions to Chicago's heritage, from the "Pleasure Wheel" on Navy Pier to the city's cycling craze.

Hidden History of Uptown and Edgewater available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. If there's any place in Chicago that's been all things to all men, it has to be the corner of the city that is occupied by Edgewater and Uptown. Babe Ruth and Mahatma Gandhi found a place of refuge at the Edgewater Beach Hotel, but the locale has also been a sanctuary for Appalachian coal miners and Japanese Americans released from internment camps. Al Capone reportedly moved booze through a secret tunnel connecting the Green Mill and the Aragon Ballroom, "Burglar Cops" moonlit out of the Summerdale police station and a "Kitchen Revolt" by some not-very-ordinary housewives sent once-invulnerable machine ward boss Marty Tuchow on his way to Club Fed. Ferret out the hidden history of Uptown and Edgewater with veteran beat reporter Patrick Butler in this curio shop of forgotten people and places..
