| Palace Cars & Paradise | |
|
Our popular tour guide, Bill Adelman, walks the streets of Pullman, the Chicago community built by George Pullman in the 1880's to house company employees. He tells the story of this model town, its architecture and social structure. Hailed as a "paradise" at the time, it lost its luster in the Great Pullman Strike of 1894, a landmark conflict in American history. This is still a living community, the area remains much as it was over on hundred years ago. |
