Hidden gems from Chicago's past Tales of Forgotten Chicago contains twenty-one fascinating, little-known stories about a great city and its people. Richard C. Lindberg has dug deeply to reveal lost historical events and hidden gems from Chicago's past. Spanning the Civil War through the 1960s, the volume showcases forgotten crimes, punishments, and consequences: poisoned soup that nearly killed three hundred leading citizens, politicians, and business and religious leaders; a woman in showbiz and her street-thug husband whose checkered lives inspired a 1955 James Cagney movie; and the first police woman in Chicago, hired as a result of the senseless killing of a young factory girl in a racially tinged case of the 1880s. Also included are tales of industry and invention, such as America's first automobile race, the haunting of a wealthy Gilded Age manufacturer's mansion, and the identity of the telephone's rightful inventor. Chapters on the history of early city landmarks spotlight the fight to save Lakefront Park and how "Lucky" Charlie Weeghman's north side baseball park became Wrigley Field. Other chapters explore civic, cultural, and political happenings: the great Railroad Fairs of 1948 and 1949; Richard J. Daley's revival of the St. Patrick's Day parade; political disrupter Lar "America First" Daly; and the founding of the Special Olympics in Chicago by Anne Burke and others. Finally, some are just wonderful tales, such asa touching story about the sinking of Chicago's beloved Christmas tree ship. Engrossing and imaginative, this collection opens new windows into the past of the Windy City.Binding Type: Paperback

Decent Suit, But the Sizing Is Way Off
Color: Black, Size: XX-Large
I really wanted to like this suit because the material and overall look are actually pretty decent for the price. The jacket and vest fit about how I expected for an XXL—no complaints there. But the pants? I swear they could fit a small horse.
I ordered the WULFUL Men’s 3-Piece Slim Fit Suit in Black, XX‑Large, and the pants that came with it were massive. They’re supposed to be part of a “slim fit” set, but the waist and leg width are so oversized that I have no idea what size they were aiming for. It honestly feels like they just toss in whatever pants are nearby.
If you’re buying this suit, be prepared for a trip to the tailor… or to exchange the whole thing. The suit itself is okay, but the sizing consistency is terrible.

Good quality suit, but size up.
The suit seemed was very good quality. It was too small, so size up. We had to send it back, but the refund process was very simple and easy! Thank you for the easy transaction!
