Greetings from the Southwest side of Chicago in the shadow of Midway Airport!

Over the years many of my questions about tools have led me here so I finally decided to sign up.

My 2 car garage is a pallet-racked monstrosity mostly serving as storage space (houses are small down here) for my family and my various non-automotive hobbies (Wargaming, music, model trains, etc.) . It will never be worthy of glamour shots, but I'm slowly putting together a workshop and what brings me here is tools.

Starting with what were my grandfather's, I'm building up a good set of tools primarily by picking up used USA-made pieces. I'm always interested in the history of what I've got, so expect lots of posts with questions about tool history.

Had a lot of friends from the area. Completely know what you mean. Course I am trying to find a way to put a third car in a 2½ (20x22)

If you figure that one out, I'm sure we'll all be curious to see...
I can't even put one car in mine. Luckily street parking is easy and.plentiful down here.

Good morning from a Downers Grove native! My folks first apartment was in the shadow of Midway!

Cool.
Let me guess....
Down by 63rd?
Them or me? I grew up at 63rd and Main. Don’t remember their street although I’ve driven by the house. I have spent a lot of time at the airport though!

Ha! Either.
I just assume whenever anyone references Midway and apartments, it's an even bet they came up in that strip of blocks north of the railyard through Clearing and Chrysler Village.
