Chicago historian David Witter, author of Oldest Chicago, 2nd Ed., takes us on a visual and literary tour, chronicling everything from the oldest pharmacy in the city, to the oldest Italian beef stand. Oldest Chicago II represents businesses that stand out from the cookie cutter chains that - that make Chicago uniquely ours.
