Description

It's a part of Chicago that's full of surprises. It's home to a 28 square mile forest with a rock canyon. It's where one of the Blues Brothers did time (along with thousands of other real life convicts). And it's the setting for Chicago's most famous ghost story. It's home to major league soccer andminor league baseball. Chicago's largest Arab and Ghanaian communities are here. It's also home to a bustling industrial canal where salty mariners navigate a Panama Canal sized lock past a hundred year old hydroelectric dam.

  • Southwest Suburbs: Birthplace of Chicago
The program content is terrific and easily worth five stars. This is really one of the best in Mr. Baer's travelogues. But the DVD is mastered in letterbox format for old square televisions, which means there is a large black border on all four sides of the image when viewed on today's 16:9 displays. ... show more
