Ryan, you definitely need to do the video about Ogden Ave. It was a fascinating street, and I even remember traveling on that viaduct in 1992 before it closed. The fact that Ogden used to go all the way to Clark and Armitage is unknown to most people who are under 60 years old. Bits and pieces of it just kept disappearing over the years, and by the time I was a teenager, it stopped at North Ave. and Larrabee. Now, of course, it stops just north of Chicago Ave. There used to be a building on Goose Island that even had an Ogden Ave. address (1060 N. Ogden, I believe) with their main entrance on the second or third floor that could only be accessed from the Ogden Ave. viaduct. If I recall correctly, it was the main office of the Pickens-Kane Moving and Storage company. It's also untrue that you couldn't access Goose Island from the viaduct. There was a ramp/exit at Hickory St. that was added after the original construction in order to provide easy access to and from Goose Island from the I-90/94 expressway. The Hickory St. ramp was mostly used for truck and freight traffic, but it certainly was available for use by anyone and I used it many times as a shortcut. The gunshots from Cabrini-Green were real though. The Ogden viaduct would pass directly by the housing project at about 50 feet in the air and most people avoided the viaduct for that reason, especially during the 1970s. Great videos, Ryan, and keep up the great work.

The movies Cooley High and Opportunity Knocks have scenes that show the Ogden viaduct in GREAT detail from the top of the bridge, right at the Halsted/Division intersection. There's also a car chase scene in Adventres in Babysitting on the viaduct near the same spot. We used to take the Division bus going west to shop on Milwaukee Avenue and we'd pass under the viaduct.

Thanks for contributing some more first-hand history of Ogden Ave. These days, whenever I go by Division and Halsted it always looks weird without the viaduct and the Phillips Towing. Kind of similar to Grand and Central now without the viaduct running over Grand Ave. or State St. without Roosevelt running overhead. Great memories!

Another part of Chicago that warrants your attention, IMO, is Elston Avenue. It runs from Milwaukee Avenue in the West Town neighborhood, right near Goose Island, basically following the river until Belmont Street, and continuing northwest until it ends at Milwaukee Avenue (again!) in the Norwood Park neighborhood. It used to be a mainly industrial thoroughfare, with streetcar, later converted to trolleybus and then regular buses, shuttling people to and from work. As the factories in the city declined, the street began to decay, and bus service was discontinued in the early 1970s. Not long after I moved to Chicago, Elston Avenue was selected to receive one of Chicago's earliest bike lanes, and it has been one of the city's cycling thoroughfares ever since. Over the last 20 years or so, Elston Avenue has been making a comeback, with new businesses and even some residential segments springing up. Still no transit service, although the buses that run along the cross streets generally stop at Elston. I have yet to find its history documented, but I bet it's fascinating.

I was employed as a locomotive engineer for the Soo Line Railroad and in the late 1990s I worked the job that switched out freight cars on Goose Island. There were a few areas in and around the island where our tracks were in the streets. Sometimes people would park their automobile over these rails thinking to themselves, "trains never go around here anymore." The conductor had a company provided cell phone and would call a local towing company to remove the vehicle blocking our right-of-way. It was amazing how fast they'd come out and tow it off the tracks to their impound yard.

Prior to Kendall, it was a Sara Lee factory that my great-aunt would often visit, so I take pride in my connections to this tiny island. I miss seeing the train cars parked in the middle of the streets, it gave the area that old industrial vibe which I love about Chicago. Being here for almost two decades I've watched the island transform from an area you didn't necessarily want to be (due to Cabrini Green and other factors), to a thriving corridor. Thank you for bringing back some wonderful memories and sharing the history of our little island. Cheers!

Although the RR bridge at the north end of Goose Island looks like a lift bridge at first glance, it is actually a swing bridge that pivots at the north end. The huge concrete counterweight balances the load of the span.
