1977 Chicago Film...

Cool 1977 promotional film by the Chicago Convention and Tourism Bureau...

It's from the late '70's, but the background music has a 1960's
upbeat, jazzy sort of feel to it.  And it's quite a contrast from
today... the people back then were more... ahem.. lighter, shall
we say. Though, to be inclusive, there is a shot of the Billiken
parade.

Fun to see a lot of old places that aren't around anymore... And
amazingly, back then, they had this thing called Christmas!

Enjoy...
