Explore the significance of Chicago Surface Lines (CSL) streetcar lines from 1945 through the end of streetcar service. Neighborhoods were a part of a person's identity - they were where things happened: education, entertainment, shopping. The CSL streetcar lines served not only individual neighborhoods, but they also linked them to other neighborhoods, both near and far.
Features:
- Covers 26 streetcar lines in the 1945-1958 period
- Section on eight distinctive lines of Southeast Chicago (including "the Hegewisch line" and South Deering)
- Coverage of diagonal lines in a grid city (including Elston, Archer and Lincoln)
- Information on routes such as Kedzie, Cicero, 18th Street and Chicago Avenue
- George Kanary's recollections of life on Division Street in Wicker Park
