Paige Douglas+FollowRemembering Chicago’s Car Deal LegendIf you grew up in Chicago, you probably remember those catchy Celozzi-Ettleson Chevy ads—"Where you always save more money!" Maury Ettleson, the man behind those deals and TV spots, just passed away at 93. Their commercials made car shopping feel like a game show, and their big ad spend changed how local businesses connect with customers. Proof that a little personality (and some cash waving) can make your brand unforgettable! #Business #ChicagoHistory #CarCulture00Share
robertalvarez+FollowChicago Teens Ride for Ida B. WellsDid you know Chicago teens just took a bus tour honoring Ida B. Wells and other legendary Black women from the city? The Girls Like Me Project made it happen on Wells’ birthday, taking girls to historic spots all over Chicago—way beyond Bronzeville this year! These trips aren’t just about history—they’re about inspiring the next gen to speak up, just like Wells and Ethel Payne did. Love seeing young women learning about the real trailblazers! #News #IdaBWells #ChicagoHistory00Share
Pamela Marshall+FollowPope’s Old Church Faces Foreclosure DramaDid you know the new Pope Leo’s childhood church in Chicago is falling apart and might get foreclosed? The place has a wild backstory: it’s now owned by a local DJ who bought it to run job training programs, but he’s in a legal mess with the bank. The church is trashed—graffiti, missing furniture, even a hole in the roof. Now, with the Pope connection, the owner wants to turn it into a tribute and community hub. But can he save it before it’s too late? #ChicagoHistory #PopeLeo #ChurchDrama #Foreclosure #UrbanLegends #Culture10Share
