I shot footage of the former U.S. Steel "South Works" site in Chicago (at 87th and Lake Shore Drive) for the Chicago History Podcast and combined old pictures with new drone footage of the area. Enjoy.

I used work right there in the Slip and the unloading Docks there until they closed down in 1982! I worked there at the end of the Slip where you see the Yellow Railings! That used to be a Pumping Station there for recycled Water!
