I need infos about chicago in the late 70's... Do you have links or contacts for me ?

[the crackhouse]

I'm working on a video game that will take scene in Chicago, from 1977 to 1982.

So i need a lot of infos about the politics, the way people lived, how they dress, city plans, photos of different places, the fashionned place and the poor hoods, some historical and local events, some personalities, anecdotes and all that can bring the best idea of what it was to be in Chicago in this years.

Any help will be truly appreciated, thanks in advance.

And I hope everyone is ok, as I don't have a lot of time to get on the forum ! smile.gif

Can't say much but the soundtrack will defintly be house and disco.

why not do a game on what you know?

Tom : This is a great budget, even if I'm not sure that it will be followed on all points.

mhd : well, I personally prefer to benefit from this project in many ways : have info on chicago, listen to good house, maybe visit chicago and its archives, learn how this city was in a particular era... It interest me, so why not.
I'd like to learn this time, not to repeat.

SO anyone know where I could start, the web is not so big about chicago (for 77>82), and I would like to learn from "real" people. If someone could target for me the places where I could get these contacts, please let me know.
