Chicago

My family moved to Portage Park in 1949. I was told that the park got its name because the Indians "portaged" their canoes through this area. I read in a book about St. Pascal's church that homes were built in the area because people who worked at "Dunning" (the farmer's name who donated the land) needed housing. Portage Park homes were built in the 19 teens and 1920's.The Watson family who lived on Waveland had the first telephone in the area.

I hope this information helps.

Yes, if it's open to the public.

Fishing is allowed on the north side of the pier. Most of what you are likely to catch are yellow perch, but rock bass and some salmonid are caught as well. Bring your license and respect the limits as the DNR checks regularly. Bring a long handle net if you are going after salmon as the pier is high off the water.

Also there is a parking deal. In after 5am out by 10am for $5 if you show your fishing license to the parking office they will validate your ticket.

Was it Texas Tommy's Silver Dollar? Or was that on Ogden Ave. in Downers Grove? This was on W. Roosevelt Rd, which in later years became Taco Fiesta, Honey Bee, etc. Was there a steak house or restaurant on Roosevelt Rd called The Black Ox?.

Navy Pier was built in 1916 as a local dock point for passenger and freight boats on southern Lake Michigan. It was called Municipal Pier #2 and offered cooler conditions to the public on hot summer days.

the first mayor of Chicago

He is credited, by Alastair Cook, in his book "America" for being the man that "Opened up the West": He brought John Deere to Chicago, whose invention of the steel plow allowed tilling the stubborn sod of the Great Plains. He brought in the man (?Name) who invented the frame house, making it easier and faster to build residences. And he was instrumental in the construction of the transcontinental railroad. He promoted the construction of the "Ogden Canal" (The Illinois and Michigan Canal) that brought produce from the Midwest to the Great Lakes and hence to the St. Lawrence River and the Atlantic Ocean.
