Those Lazy Hazy Daze: Vacation!

July 22, 2010

It is time for The Journal to take its summer vacation. Well, it is not so much a vacation as a time for study, reading and regrouping. Posting on the blog will resume September 1st, (or maybe August 1st; don't know) but I will continue to add interesting Chicago history links to The Journal's Facebook page and ChiHistJournal Twitter. And maybe the Online Library or perhaps I'll just post a really short blurb on a new book release or an interesting picture I come across...Um, I don't think I've quite got the hang of this vacation thing. I guess the point is I won't be doing a lot of posting, but I'll be around. See ya soon!

Great postcard there. Which makes me wonder - were piers like this common at Chicago beaches? If so, when did they disappear?
