If you enjoy Chicago History, this series is terrific. I caught several episodes last night including the building of the major highways through the Italian neighborhoods, the construction of UIC, and the FEMA like housing that persisted after the Chicago fire. There are some really interesting facts and pictures.

Are those showing all different episodes or just the same one each week? I get the impression it's the latter, but I'd hate to just guess that and miss some of it.

Yeah I watched this and found it very interesting. The part about what Cabrini Green was envisioned to be, and what it actually did become was something I didn't know.
