Chicago

The only place you will find toll roads are in Illinois, especially in the Chicago area. The cost depends on your travel route. For example, to travel I90 through Chicago, the toll would be $4.20.

Wells Tower is an American fiction writer known for his short stories and essays. He has been published in various literary magazines and anthologies. His debut short story collection, "Everything Ravaged, Everything Burned," was well-received by critics.

Greyhound has service from downtown Chicago to downtown London, Ontario. Adult fare is about $80 without any discounts. HOWEVER, while Amtrak does not offer direct service from Chicago to London, one may take the train from Chicago to Detroit ($27 - $48) and then the Greyhound from Detroit to London ($25) or Robert Q from the airport ($60). Costs less and the train leg is a much more comfortable and preferable way to travel. www.amtrak.com www.greyhound.com www.robertq.com

Depends on how worn they are. I wouldn't suggest running on them for long. Can cause quite a few things to go bad including wearing out the pads if they aren't all ready worn out. Would get new ones as soon as possible.

It depends what you mean by "solar energy." Humans have always used solar energy in some sense: to warm themselves, to grow food, etc. However, I'm assuming that's not really what you mean (although it is important to realize that all energy on earth, with the exception of nuclear fission and geothermal, is ultimately driven by the sun's energy -- even fossil fuels, which after all were plants that grew with sunlight millions of years ago).

Solar power has been used directly in various forms for over 100 years. See the link to below this answer for a nice review of the history of solar power, starting from the beginning. Early on, focused sunlight was used to heat water, which was converted to steam and used to turn a turbine. (This is still very commonly used today and known as "solar thermal" energy although instead of water a fancy high temperature molten salt is used instead to reach very high temperatures).

If you are referring to the type of solar panels that you commonly see on rooftops of homes, etc., those are called photovoltaic solar cells. Those panels take sunlight and directly make electricity using semiconductors. Those are a relatively modern invention.

In 1839, Becquerel observed photoelectrochemical processes for the first time, but wasn't until 1954 that the first silicon-based photovoltaic solar cell was made by Bell Labs with an conversion efficiency of 6%. I'm not sure when the first commercial photovoltaic solar panels were available for sale. It was probably sometime in the mid- to late-1960's solar panels started to become commercially available. It wasn't until the 1970's with the oil embargo and energy crisis that they were sold on any significant scale.

I live in Cairo , ( the meaning in Arabic means The city that could conquer invaders ) due to so many waves of armies that attacked it but they swept out at the end. However , I think that ( the City of Thousand Minerates ) may be the famous nickname for Cairo.

Estimates say we have about 51,000 pharmacies in Brazil nowadays.

The pharmacist business sells about 7,775 billion dollars (about 14 billions Reais, the local currency) a year in Brazil

A little searching in the Tribune archives reveals that a Fred W. Morgan was a wealthy manufacturer of bicycle tires, who died in 1921. Where is the building?

In answer to the last question, the building is located at 2678 W. Washington Blvd, Chicago, Illinois. It is now known as the Wolfson Building. It is being used as a homeless shelter for women and children.

About 23 hours

== == Piser's Funeral Home was the business neighbor, 5206 N Broadway. I remember the place from the early '70s.

There is a photograph of the team posed at the end of a train in the Royal Gorge by the famous hanging bridge. This photo is in the Denver Public Library and is dated February 27, 1910. This photograph served as the basis of a printed color postcard #7421. Chuck Finley

The largest park in Paris is also the city

African-American Perspectives -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Biography Ida B. Wells-Barnett (1862-1931) Ida B. Wells (1862-1931). LC-USZ62-107756 DLC. Ida B. Wells-Barnett was an African-American woman of striking courage and conviction. She achieved nationwide attention as leader of the anti-lynching crusade. Raised in Mississippi after the Civil War, Wells worked her way through Rust College and taught school in Memphis, Tennessee. A writer, she became part-owner of a newspaper, the Memphis Free Speech. In May 1892, in response to an article on a local lynching, a mob ransacked her offices and threatened her life if she did not leave town. Moving to Chicago, Wells continued to write about Southern lynchings. While investigating, she would go directly to the site of a killing, sometimes despite extreme danger. In 1895, she published The Red Record, the first documented statistical report on lynching. A forceful speaker, Wells lectured widely in the North and in Great Britain. She was a founding member of the National Afro-American Council, served as its secretary, and was chairman of its Anti-Lynching Bureau. Wells was also a founder of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Wells married African-American rights advocate Ferdinand Barnett, and the couple published the Chicago Conservator. They were considered pillars of the black community of Chicago. Ida B. Wells-Barnett had several children, including Ida B. Wells, Jr. Return to Mob Violence -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- African-American Perspectives

The original general partners of Meyer C. Weiner and Martin H. Braun signed a contract with Inland Construction to be their general contractor on Sept. 23 1965 for a price of $7,636,428 dollars at 15200 Dixie Square Highway in Harvey Illinois. The mortgage was held by Greenebaum Mortage Company. This information is all from the original contract.

To the best of my knowledge it opened in 1966, Closed in 1979.

Plus, There were rumors that the mall shut down due to the number of shootings & crime rate. Not because of "The Blues Brothers" filming debacle, it was closed before then.

and the mall is still there empty as a empty glass

Thank you for all your replies. I have been inside many times and photographed it. It also just had a fire the other day. I was really looking for a true history of the place. There are so many rumors out there about it!! If anybody is interestead in seeing some pictures of it, and other abandoned Chicago locations, check out my web site, http://www.geocities.com/chucksphotospotand look in the "Urban Exploring" Gallery.

I'm from Harvey and help run a historical/reunion forum on the city. The mall's grand opening was Nov 11, 1966 and was (then) the largest mall under one roof.

Three pics of the original are in my album: http://members8.clubphoto.com/carl515278/1552515/guest.phtml

We discuss our hometown mall at our Harvey forum here: http://forums.delphiforums.com/Harvey_IL_TTHS/messages?msg=356.1

Is Dixie Square Mall the location that was once McKinley Interim School in or about 1976-1977?

Thanks for the many answers.

Schutter-Johnson Candy merged with Ward Candy of New York in 1972.

It was Dell's roadhouse in Morton Grove, IL.

I work for the Tresurer/Tax Collector's Office in Santa Barbara County. In our county, all you have to do is call or come in to the office and give us the individual's name. We have a database that can pull up all that information simply by first and last name. It only pulls up property held withing the county, though. In California, this is considered "public information" and is easy to obtain. Good luck to you... I hope this info is helpful.
