This from Steve Redick:

November 1964 had a 3 day period that was one of the busiest ever in the recent history of the city of Chicago. It was the subject of a TV news special. view it here

I have some news clippings of two of the massive fires.

• The Goldblatts warehouse (5-11 and 7 Specials)  4000 S Kedzie
• The 5-11 at 18th & Clark
• The 5-11 2455 S. Michigan Avenue

  Steve, these are cool pictures. For what it’s worth, I think you do a great job of taking care of your dads pictures.
