When Chicago Built the American Dream
Tuesday, June 11, 2013
Today it can seem as if all of American culture comes out of New York and Los Angeles, but Thomas Dyja says that much of what defined the nation as it grew into a superpower was produced in Chicago. Between the end of World War II and 1960, Mies van der Rohe's architecture became the face of corporate America, Ray Kroc's McDonald's changed how we eat, Hugh Hefner unveiled Playboy, and the Chess brothers changed rock and roll with Chuck Berry. In The Third Coast: When Chicago Built the American Dream, looks at the city’s impact on modern America.
