A friend of mine let me borrow her book on Chicago called ENCYCLOPEDIA CHICAGO. I am going to buy a copy of it for it is how Chicago started and it brings back memories.One memory was the opened street car.There was a contractor at one end and a motorman in the front.It was runned by over head wires.The street was made of bricks. Then There was the first bus which left people off and on at the curb It also had over head wires
