Lane Technical High School in Chicago, located at Western Avenue and Addison Street. The massive building project cost approximately $6 million to complete. Opened in September 1934, it was dedicated as the largest high school in the world at that time. The footprint shown in this photo closely matches the school's layout today, though the surrounding area has developed.

ironically one of my favorite Chuck Norris fights wasn’t in Way of the Dragon but in the 2000’s sitcom Yes, Dear where he shadows Jimmy but when Jimmy decides to cut ties because Chuck is just a normal guy, Chuck hilariously gets the opportunity to show his badassery. RIP. OSU!🥋
In 1993, a local Chicago reporter covering the St. Patrick's Day parade spotted Tommy Lee Jones filming a movie amidst the festivities and stopped him for a quick interview.
The movie was THE FUGITIVE.
Courage under fire can't be faked or reliably "trained" for. Most of the time, you either have it or you don't. Many crumble even during the relative 'calm' of training.
This means that this female fighter pilot, who is in good spirits, smiling, and showing some bravado, is a badass pilot. She didn't panic, cry, whine, or complain. Staying composed like that right after ejection and a high-stress combat bailout is very impressive... exactly the kind of resilience that stands out in these situations. All six crew showed the same level of professionalism.
The opening of Blade Runner (1982) is unreal. That hellish cityscape, fire bursting into the night sky, and the Vangelis synth humming underneath it. In seconds, you’re dropped into a future that feels massive and decaying at the same time.
