Greg Borzo, author of The Chicago ‘L,’ will discuss the history of the city’s elevated trains in a Nov. 8 Society of Midland Authors program at the Cliff Dwellers Club.
Borzo’s talk will explore one of Chicago’s most enduring icons, a working antique that has contributed mightily to the growth and development of the city and suburbs.
Borzo conducts public tours of the “L” and local historical sites for the Chicago History Museum, Chicago Cycling Club and other organizations. For details on his book, visit www.TheChicagoL.com.
