About me: I was born and raised in Chicago. Although I no longer live there, I too, have wonderful childhood memories of growing up in the city. I was 9-years-old at the time of the fire. I lived in the Wicker Park area in a very community-oriented neighborhood, where everyone went to church on Sundays in their good clothes, shed those after school. I have always been interested in Chicago's history and have tons of books on the city. I still get into the city about 6 times a year and find myself haunting the old neighborhood and seeing the changes that have taken place, some good, some bad. I don't think anyone can recreate what once was, the times have changed and family structure has changed with it. I really enjoy reading the board on OLA.
