How did the city of Chicago encourage African American migration?
After the US Civil War, black Chicagoans had access to better schools, greater access to public facilities and leisure activities, and they were able to vote.
Due to World War 1, workers were needed for Chicago's industries. Those jobs were opened up to blacks. Wages were much better than anything offered in the South. There were no formal segregation laws in Chicago, and the blacks had access to schools, and were able to vote, all encouragement for African Americans to migrate to Chicago.

Where on the Southside of Chicago was Bowman Dairy located circa 1910 to 1930?
I believe the Bowman Dairy was actually north. There is an area called Bowmanville north of Foster and east of Western.
There was a Bowman Dairy Co. at 43rd Street South and State Street in Chicago. There was also one at 66th street and Wentworth Avenue. My father delivered routes from both garages from about 1945 up to when they closed. I'm not sure when these facilities were built or went into operation. These were mainly garages for the milk wagons and horses and later the milk trucks. Milk was not processed in these locations. My Brothers and I helped my Dad deliver milk each morning. Dad died but Mom remembers names of others that worked there and are still living. Want more info, contact me.
The company I work for has a 1917 Walker Electric Truck with original Bowman Dairy lettering still on it. The address given is 140 West Ontario. I would be interested in learning more about the Bowman Dairy to prepare the truck for a museum exhibit.
Thanks

I do remember Pit and Pub but I was only 4 years old and it was back in the mid 70's. My parents used to take me there to play pinball, eat pizza, and drink rootbeer. I remember that it was one of my favorite places. We also used to go to a fast food restaurant in Arlington Heights called Yankee Doodle. I don't know what happened to either of those places- I'm sure they went out of business. Ah... fond memories of my childhood!
