A guide to Chicago's commemorative honors. The who, where, when, and why of honorary streets, days, and other recognitions.---Who or what is a WOOGM and why is there a Chicago alley named for it?This is the question I asked myself one summer day more than a decade ago as I looked up at the brown background and white letters signs flanked with four white stars. What are all these brown honorary signs around the city; and who are these people, places and things being honored?Why was July 28, 2013 Chaka Khan Day in Chicago? Who was Abraham Lincoln Marovitz?My curiosity became a quest for the answer. I have created the most complete compilation of honorary streets, days, tributes and congratulations, for the Honorary Chicago series. Discover what makes Chicago "the world's largest small town."This book is organized by neighborhood can be used as a tour book of Chicago's honorary streets, it contains additional historical and biographic information regarding honorary days and commemorations. This edition represents only a fraction of what I have developed for the Honorary Chicago record. There are far more points on the maps than are included in the book and that some of the signs, buildings, locations, and landmarks no longer exist. All are chronicled by Honorary Chicago, lest they be lost to history – again.Proceeds from this book will help support further research and updates.

Download and read online ebook Good Old Neon write by Nicholas Carlin Freeman. This book was released on 2014-11-21. Good Old Neon available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. "What constitutes a great sign? For me it's an elusive synchronicity of color, shape, typography, and iconography, enhanced by authenticity and eccentricity. Signs that have been maintained and still illuminate are always beguiling. The fragility of glass tubing continuously exposed to harsh Chicago weather makes the survival of an old sign a kind of urban miracle, deserving, at the least, of photographic preservation. Even the many that have outlived their functional glory days have their own visual appeal. Animated neon signs, working or not, are a special treat." Nick Freeman, from the Foreword Delight in Chicago's rich neon heritage with this full-color collection of gaudy, garish, and downright spectacular signs. From the far South Side to the Wisconsin Dells, Good Old Neon documents the familiar and the obscure, capturing in over 130 photos these fast-disappearing artifacts of a glorious era when brightly lit signs filled the urban landscape.
