I like Chicago, blues and architecture.

It's interesting to see high res color shots from this era. It was almost all in BW. So much so that it almost seems like prior to widespread color photography the world WAS black and white.

Now mostly forgotten, the university of Chicago did a Western and dropped football around this time. They were big time too.

They beat Enoch Bagshaw's Huskies 26-6 in 1927 or so. Amos Alonzo Stagg was the coach.

Race had a handle on water way before 1927.

Bagshaw was a pretty good coach. We need some Bagshaw meme around here. (You are thinking, I need to make a donation too.)
