Around Chicago’s downtown area is a collection of buildings that do not appear to be typical buildings at all. Windowless, doorless, but not at all featureless, these buildings hide many of the machinery that keeps the city moving. With a vivid history in electricity, they eventually became a common sight in metropolitan areas. Today, we discuss the so-called “fake buildings” of Chicago.

The topic of why the US is so strict on imports is cause of the whole Motorex scandal, and that's been talked about plenty even with people that were members of the auto group. Also why Canada did it too I'm pretty sure, but they limit it to 15 years as far as I'm aware opposed to the US' 25 years

You should look into the hidden roads here like the tunnels under Ford City mall. During WWII Dodge built the engines for the B-29 Superfortress there, and because they were afraid of possible bombing and sabotage targeting they dug tunnels underground to transport the engines and personnel. When I was a kid I heard that the tunnels went all the way to Lake Michigan but I can’t confirm that’s actually true. Also look into the private highway called the “bat cave” that only the mayor and other VIPs are permitted to use to get in and out or the Loop.

@@wyatt_sho1677 no actually they're not allowed to be imported because they're not older than 25 years. Now I remember that there used to be a company that imported skylines in general but the FBI shut them down after they found out that they falsified the r34's data about emissions and other things to make them appear that they conform to the EPA rules (all cars that are less than 25 years old must conform to federal EPA and safety regulations) and impounded (and I think crushed) the r34s that were in their garage. But the interesting twist is that those who DID buy the r34s through said importer before the FBI raid were allowed by the government to keep their purchase. So my guess the r34 in chicago is one of those who got imported this way.

Insull controlled an empire of $500 million with only $27 million in equity. His holding company collapsed during the Great Depression, wiping out the life savings of 600,000 shareholders. This led to the enactment of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935. Insull fled the country initially to France. When the United States asked French authorities that he be extradited, Insull moved on to Greece, where there was not yet an extradition treaty with the US. He was later arrested and extradited back to the United States by Turkey in 1934 He also empty out the employee retirement fund. I know because my grandfather worked for commonwealth Edison from 1921 till 1953.

That said, and I am being a little bias being a suburbanite, but the suburbs even have their own history as well. Especially in places like Evanston and Oak Park, but if you go to West Chicago and you'll find out the Chicago Golf Club was one of 5 founding members for the USGA. Obviously sports history there, but an example of a lot of little stuff that is interesting out here.

I worked in it. Top floors are offices, all the rest are filled with telecom equipment and lots of cables and wires. Some floors weren't accessible to phone company employees because they contained government circuits. Building was designed to survive a nuke blast, walls and supports are very thick (there are a few phone company buildings like it scattered around the country in key locations). There is a jet engine on the property that functions as a generator. During the loop flood back in the early 90's it supposedly powered a large portion of the loop.
