Attention all electric city streetcar enthusiast!
Saturday, April 23rd 2011 from 1:00 until 3:00 PM, I will be hosting the Chicago Railfan Photo Slideshow at the Eisenhower Public Library in near northwest suburban Harwood Heights Illinois.
A special treat for anyone who grew up in the city of Chicago Illinois prior to the end of Chicago Transit Authority electric streetcar operations in June of 1958, will be a short musical photo slideshow I have put together entitled "When Chicago Rode The Streetcars!" This musical short photo slideshow, is set to authentic historic period music ranging from Ragtime Piano, Dixieland Jazz, and 1940's era Big Band Standards from the orchestras of Glen Miller, Artie Shaw, Count Bassie and Tommy Dorsey.
See how Chicago commuted by public surface transportation some 60 years ago.
The Eisenhower Public Library, is located at 4613 North Oketo Avenue in Harwood Heights Illinois. This will be a fun event, and we hope to see You there.
Thanks.
Eddie K.
