Chicago O’Hare (1960)
Chicago O’Hare International Airport was emerging as a major hub of air travel in the United States, replacing Midway as the city’s primary airport. The terminal buildings had a modern, streamlined appearance, with glass walls, low-slung roofs, and wide concrete tarmacs stretching into the distance. Jet airliners and prop planes parked side by side, reflecting the aviation industry’s transition into the jet age. Passengers in suits and hats walked briskly through concourses, many carrying briefcases or garment bags. Baggage carts and fuel trucks moved between gates, servicing the constant rotation of arrivals and departures. Inside, seating areas and ticket counters were functional and forward-looking, decorated in a clean mid-century style. The airport’s expanding runways and modern control tower marked its growing role in global travel. O’Hare was quickly becoming a symbol of Chicago’s international reach.

This call will forever be iconic. You can hear the emotion and passion in Troy Murray’s voice. When hardly anyone knew where the puck was, he reassured everyone over and over again that it was in the back of the net. #Blackhawks
When a dude with an accordion rolls up on a lawnmower, you know it’s about to get real.
Steve’n’Seagulls turn “Thunderstruck” into a hoedown and I am here for it.
I just can’t believe it! My dear dear friend Ozzy has passed away only weeks after our show at Villa Park.
It’s just such heartbreaking news that I can’t really find the words, there won’t ever be another like him. Geezer, Bill and myself have lost our brother.
My thoughts go out to Sharon and all the Osbourne family. Rest in peace Oz. Tony
