(Double click on photos to enlarge)

If you... like I....
are a fan of old photos....and have way too much time to kill.
I can let you in on a little secret sworn only to former Chicago Daily News
paperboys of which I am a card carrying member.
.
There is an archive, through the Library of Congress, that stores over 55,000 old Chicago Daily News photos from 1902 through 1933 ....which is categorized and pretty cool to say the least.
(See if you can find St. Rita "College"??)
.
Warning Will Robinson......
this site is very addicting and WILL cause sleep deprivation.

I will post my favorites in my Pic of the Week box....send me some if you find additional.

Here is a shot of the William H. Kniering Saloon
at 3258 South Princeton in 1905.

Over 100 years later....you Sox fans knew it as Jimbos! This was just a lucky find on my part. Which is good to know in case I am ever time-warped back to 1905 and thirsty!
