Aarons columns in the Chicago Jewish News is nothing more than self contradictory babble most of the time.<BR/><BR/>KINS is a shul that relocated from the old South side (I believe). It is over 100 years old. The original WAS Sefard.<BR/><BR/>Scraps the Purple Hotel is no more. Rabbi Fasman's shul was across the street.<BR/><BR/>Ram its hard to get an Acheinu if you don't live in Chicago. Too many fund raisers use them.<BR/><BR/>Some little tidbits:<BR/><BR/>1) North Avenue. Right past the Beach is the BEST view of the Chicago Skyline. You can also visit a little know landmark at the park across the street. The park was the site of a Civil war POW camp and cemetery. All of the bodies were moved and reintered...except one. There is a mausoleum across the street from the baseball field that still contains one person.<BR/><BR/>2) Make sure to go to the 2nd City's free Improv show on Saturday Nights. Most SNL cast members got their start there.<BR/><BR/>3) Wrigley Feild is easy to get to and close to the Frum community. No Kosher concession, BUT you can bring in your 7-11 Slurpee and Big Gulp cups from the 7-11 located right across the street! Many of the Vendors at the Ballpark are Skokie Yeshiva students.<BR/><BR/>4) Many of the Churches on the West Side and South Side STILL have Hebrew writing on them.<BR/><BR/>5) Maxwell Street is STILL there. That is one place dripping with Jewish history (although you wouldn't know it now).<BR/><BR/>6) Devon is but a shadow of its former self. It was the Jewish Mecca. Mecca IS how I'd describe it today.<BR/><BR/>7) Romanian makes the BEST cold cuts and kishke, but are not licensed to send it out of state. Come with an insulated bag.<BR/><BR/>8) The Chicago Dunkin Donouts was the FIRST Kosher Dunkin Donouts in the US.<BR/><BR/>9) Most Chicago Rabbis hold that Cohanim can NOT visit either the Feild Museum or the Museum of Science and Industry.<BR/><BR/>10) The Jewish Cemetery, Waldheim, is the burial ground for Emma Goldman and numerous radical anarchists from the turn of the 20th Century.<BR/><BR/>11) There is a small Orthodox community in Hyde Park on the far South Side of Chicago near the University of Chicago.DAGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475799835170867139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12970718.post-69980825229305845212007-06-21T22:32:00.000-04:002007-06-21T22:32:00.000-04:00Chana, why you leave out these synagogues?

And not far from there is the family favorite - Navy Pier. In the summer months there is a free shuttle from the city of Chicago which runs from the Michigan Avenue area to Navy Pier all day long. At navy pier they have the famous ferris wheel, numerous boat rides (the sea dog is my personal favorite) and fireworks twice a week from memorial day through labor day(wednesday and saturday nights). My family went down there once and we rented a 4 person bicycle and went along lake michigan.
