Let's see... six years ago? It was for five days, and we stayed with our friend, Ash, who had an extra room, lived alone, and loved the company. We spent most of it eating and going to museums. And they discovered I hadn't seen Silence of the Lambs, so I remember they made me watch it suddenly in the middle of our visit.

Great pizza. Even better museums. And the train was rad. (I love trains.)

@Austin: Three things I loved growing up in Chicago. Especially the trains. They are so sad in SowCal. "More Music" was used even on stations with "More Commercials". WCFL was notorious for speeding up records to fit in more songs
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:07pm
Austin Rich:

Ha! I have read about stations who used all sorts of tricks in the 70s and 80's to stand out. Speeding up the records is hilarious! I wonder how many folks noticed?
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:08pm
Austin Rich:

Damn! This commercial rules!
Avatar 🎸 ♥ 8:10pm

@Austin - My dad liked to smoke cigars in the car ... Cough cough!!

My parents smoked cigarettes in the car, but not cigars! Yikes!

My pop would smoke cigars when he went fishing with our surrogate grandfather. That made me queasy.

My parents were hippies, so often the cigarettes were there to cover "other" smells.

Everyone knew what they were up to, but I think they thought it worked.

Shaving powder and cigars. This certainly represents an era.

I never experienced shaving powder, but soap powder was in restaurant bathrooms in the 1960s and 70s. Hey, Joe Tex

I rarely heard Mr. Vee growing up ... always seemed like Daddy-O Daylie was on when I tuned in WGRT
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:19pm
Austin Rich:

The thing I took away from Chicago: we BARELY scratched the surface. It's on our list of future vacation spots; I only visited two record stores, and that felt like a poor job on my part.

Kat in Chicago:

Eight dollars!
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:21pm

$8 in 1972 would be worth $54.88 today.

I did love the buildings when we walked around the city. Just a magnificent skyline.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:23pm
Will a Sound Guy:

@Robm, I frequent the RockNSoul stream the most frequent, a bunch of the Drummer stream, Sheena's not as often... I do like the variety and different flavors of the streams...

I agree less trolls on the streams, they probably can't find them..
Avatar 🎸 ♥ 8:23pm
MarkTime:

Yes to Chicago architecture. Many of the buildings in the photo are still being used
  8:25pm
Robm:

@will plus we can hear songs that have bad words in them
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:25pm
Austin Rich:

PDX doesn't really go in for the HUGE building game, so seeing all the massive buildings was really impressive to me. Felt like I was in a "real" city.
Avatar 🎸 ♥ 8:25pm
MarkTime:

@Austin - pals swear by Reckless Records, especially the Milwaukee/Damen/North one. I grew up with Rolling Stone Records near my grandma's house ... store still there at last check
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:25pm
Austin Rich:

Damn straight, @Robm.
  8:26pm
Robm:

@austin rich i hate when the mother ship has to bleep out words
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:26pm
Austin Rich:

I went to Reckless, even got a tote! We went somewhere else.... but it escapes my memory now. Maybe a thrift store, but that didn't really count.

Will have to find Rolling Stone Records the next time I go.
  8:27pm
Kat in Chicago:

Ooh, classic
Avatar 🎸 ♥ 8:28pm
MarkTime:

@Austin - Rolling Stone is at 7300 West Irving Park ... west end of the 78 and 80 bus lines

Herby Baby ... was still active in the early 2000s on WVAZ, but now in that great Soundproof Booth in the Sky
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:29pm
Austin Rich:

I understand why they have to bleep, but I'm glad I'm on the Sheena stream. I don't really do a lot of swearing in general, and usually only for comic effect. I spent so long on regular radio that I think I've just edited out those words, unless I really lean in on them.

But for the songs, I'm glad I don't have to edit.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:30pm
Austin Rich:

We took a lot of buses and trains when I visited, and we loved it. But I do remember one night, we finally caved in and started using e-cars, which were fairly new at the time. But I think the added cost was worth it, in the time saved. That town is bigger than I'm used to.

I live between the 78 (Montrose) and 80 (Irving Park)

In 1972, I lived in a Chicago suburb and watched Ray Rayner every morning before walking to my school bus stop - I remember watching Garfield Goose with Fraiser Thomas

Not as far west as Rolling Stone though!

MarkTime - True... looking back at the YouTube clips, they were winging that show every morning. To me, as a kid, I thought it was the best!
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:35pm
Austin Rich:

I'm trying to remember what I bought in Chicago... Yma Sumac... I think I got a Spike Jones record, too? Trying to remember what else... it was a good sized haul, but it sort of blends into several other trips we took around then.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:35pm
Barno in Akron:

@MarkTime, do you remember in the early 70s, answering the phone "WMAQ is gonna make me rich!"?
Avatar 🎸 ♥ 8:38pm
MarkTime:

Eek ... yes I was not a fan of WMAQ in those days. Especially when visiting or calling Grandma Harriett who insisted on answering the phone "WMAQ is gonna make me rich"
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:39pm
Austin Rich:

I can't remember if I asked already, but Mark: what is your oldest air-check?
Avatar 🎸 ♥ 8:40pm
MarkTime:

She had not been a country music fan, but they would toss in stuff like Bobby Vinton Melody of Love, Frank Mills Music Box Dancer, and whomever sang "La Paloma Blanca"
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:41pm
Austin Rich:

I think you can find a little bit of Arthur Godfrey awkwardly DJing at the beginning of the 1939 Complete Broadcast day, which is a treat if you've never heard it:

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:41pm
Barno in Akron:

@MarkTime my parents were WMAQ fans - we all had to answer the phone that way.... hahaha! I haven't forgotten those WMAQ's call letters as a result.

I've never heard that 7-Up commercial before! That was pretty good.
