Division Street Russian and Turkish Baths

Division Street Russian and Turkish Baths / Red Square is a traditional Russian-style bathhouse at 1914 W. Division Street in the Wicker Park neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois, which closed in 2010 and reopened in 2011 under the name Red Square, offering separate facilities for both men and women, with some mixed gender areas as well. It has operated since 1906. The most popular feature at Division Bath is the traditional Russian Banya or hot room. These rooms (one on either side) were built of concrete and tile with glass doors. In a corner of each is a brick oven in which granite boulders, approximately the size of watermelons, are heated to extreme temperatures by gas jets; hot water is then thrown on the rocks by the customers as desired. When this happens, the water instantly evaporates, creating steam inside the oven and heating the brick enclosure, thereby raising the air temperature in the room. This method provides a much drier heat than common steam rooms. The bathers would sit or lie on three-level tiered wooden benches, which allow for dramatically different temperatures at the various heights. Cold water is provided by taps located under the benches - when overwhelmed by the heat, a bather will dump a bucket of frigid water over their head while still in the hot room, or may step outside to use the cold pools. Division Bath is the only traditional bathhouse remaining in Chicago, and one of only a handful in the United States. Authors who have written about it include Nelson Algren and Saul Bellow. One of its most prominent regular customers was Reverend Jesse Jackson - a fact that brought the bathhouse some publicity when it was first reported in the mainstream press. Mobster Sam Giancana was also said to have gone, and various out-of-town celebrities such as James Gandolfini and Russell Crowe had occasionally visited; their autographed portraits lined a corridor on the first floor.

Dixie Travel Plaza

The Dixie Travel Plaza, previously known as the Dixie Truck Stop and Dixie Trucker's Home, is a large trucker and travel plaza located in McLean, Illinois, on Interstate 55. It was established by J.P. Walters and John Geske in 1928 on old US Route 66 as a small sandwich stand in a truck mechanic's garage. By 1930, quickly growing demand had necessitated expansion into a full-size restaurant. The restaurant was expanded several times afterwards, and rebuilt once after a fire in 1965. Walters, Geske and the Dixie Trucker's Home have been recognized by the Route 66 Association of Illinois for their contributions—from 1926 to 1977—to the character of Route 66. They were inducted into the association's hall of fame on June 9, 1990. Dixie was previously home to the Route 66 Hall of Fame when it opened in 1990. In 2003, after Dixie changed ownership, the museum was moved to a new, larger location in Pontiac, Illinois. Dixie Travel Plaza is frequently mentioned in travel books and histories of Old US Route 66. It has also been the subject of articles in the Chicago Tribune in articles about Old Route 66. Dixie was referred to as "one of the most impressive" late night stops along I-55. When the Interstate system was constructed and Route 66 was decommissioned, the portion of Route 66 that Dixie was located on became a portion of I-55. Expansion In 2003, the original owners sold the business, after which it was renamed "Dixie Travel Plaza". It was purchased by a company in Providence, Rhode Island. The name was expanded into a chain when the new owners bought two additional truck stop locations and branded them as Dixie Travel Plazas. The other locations are in Tuscola, Illinois and Effingham, Illinois. In January, 2009, Dixie Travel Plaza was sold again to Ben Gulley of LeRoy, Illinois, after which it underwent a major renovation. In June, 2012, it was sold to Road Ranger of Rockford, Illinois, after which it underwent a complete remodel. References External links America's Biggest Road Trip Log

Dr. Pedro Albizu Campos High School

Dr. Pedro Albizu Campos Puerto Rican High School (PACHS) is an alternative high school located in the Humboldt Park neighborhood on the Paseo Boricua in Chicago, Illinois, United States. It is named for Puerto Rican nationalist Pedro Albizu Campos, and was founded in 1972 as La Escuelita Puertorriqueña, originally in the basement of a Chicago church. The school is NALSAS accredited, a founding member of the Alternative Schools Network, and a campus of the Youth Connection Charter School in Chicago. PACHS celebrated its 50th anniversary in October 2022. School history PACHS was founded by concerned community members in response to a March 1971 study that cited a 71.2% high school dropout rate for Puerto Rican youth. Originally named "La Escuelita Puertorriqueña", the school began in the basement of a Chicago church as a response to alleged Eurocentric curricula and purported negative pedagogical conditions faced by Puerto Ricans in public schools. By 1974, the school had been moved two miles northeast of [Paseo Boricua], where it remained until moving to its current location on Division. The Lolita Lebrón Family Learning Center is a satellite program of the high school which integrates educational activities for young adults and children, provides daycare services, and offer classes in women's health and wellness at the high school. In March, 2011, PACHS inaugurated a rooftop greenhouse as an extension of its science lab in order to teach students about urban agriculture and help address the high rates of obesity and diabetes in Humboldt Park, which may explain its 2006 designation as an urban "Food Desert".

Drake Fountain

The Drake Fountain, also known as the Columbus Monument, is located on a triangular site bounded by 92nd Street, South Chicago Avenue and Exchange Avenue in the Chicago neighborhood known as South Chicago. History John B. Drake, owner of the city's Grand Pacific Hotel and later the Drake and Blackstone Hotels, gave the fountain to the residents so those in The Loop would have chilled drinking water. The structure was designed by Richard Henry Park and originally stood on Washington Street adjacent to Chicago City Hall. The monument was dedicated in December 1892 to the 400th anniversary of the first voyage of Christopher Columbus. In 1906, it was moved to LaSalle Street and, in 1909, to its present site. Architecture The fountain is composed of granite and designed in the Gothic Revival style. It consists of a square column with a pyramidal cap on a quatrefoil base. The column and cap are ornamented with classical columns and other carvings. At each corner of the column is a flying buttress which rises behind a large circular basin. The basins originally were drinking fountains and were chilled by ice blocks placed in the monument's base but currently serve as planters. The chambers under the fountain were large enough to accommodate two-tons of ice. A bronze statue of Christopher Columbus stands in front of the column on a square granite base. Columbus is depicted during his university days and holds a globe in his left hand and a compass in his right. Above the statue is a bronze plaque stating ICE WATER FOUNTAIN GIFT OF JOHN B. DRAKE TO THE CITY OF CHICAGO 1892. The fountain was refurbished in 1986 and became a Chicago landmark on March 10, 2004. It was rededicated on October 8, 2004. Removal of Christopher Columbus statue On July 31, 2020, the Drake Fountain Columbus statue, which was also the last Christopher Columbus monument in Chicago, was removed for an undisclosed period. The Mayor's office released a statement claiming "Following public safety concerns over planned demonstrations similar to the one in Grant Park two weeks ago, the city has temporarily relocated the Christopher Columbus statue at Drake Fountain in the South Chicago neighborhood until further notice.” See also List of monuments and memorials to Christopher Columbus References

DuQuoin State Fairgrounds Racetrack

DuQuoin State Fairgrounds Racetrack is a one-mile (1.6-km) clay oval motor racetrack in Du Quoin, Illinois, about 90 miles (140 km) southeast of St Louis, Missouri. It is a stop on the ARCA Menards Series, USAC Silver Crown Series and American Flat Track. History The DuQuoin State Fair was founded in 1923 by local businessman William R. "W.R." Hayes, who owned the fair and ran it. It did not become run by the state of Illinois as a true "state fair" until the 1980s; it is now officially called the Illinois State Fair in DuQuoin, as opposed to the longtime one at state capital Springfield. At the start Hayes had a half-mile harness-racing track on his 30-acre site, with wooden grandstands that seated 3000. In 1939 Hayes started buying adjoining strip-mined land to develop its potential as parkland, replanting it and turning the strip pits into family-friendly ponds and lakes. He eventually expanded his little fairgrounds into 1200 acres. The DuQuoin "Magic Mile" racetrack was constructed on reclaimed strip-mined land in 1946 by W.R. Hayes. The track's first national championship race was held in September 1948. In the second race on October 10, popular AAA National driving champion Ted Horn was killed in the fourth turn when a spindle on his championship car broke. The national championship race for the USAC Silver Crown dirt cars is held in his honor. In 1957 the DuQuoin State Fairgrounds became the third longtime home of the Hambletonian, America's premier harness racing event (established 1926). The grandstands and bleachers were expanded to seat 18,000. When the Hambletonian left DuQuoin after 1980 to be raced at the Meadowlands, the Fair became the home of the World Trotting Derby. This race was held from 1981 until it was discontinued after the 2009 race. Harness racing is still a fan-favorite at the fairgrounds, and admission is free. Music concerts are also held at the track, especially during the state fair (in 2012 from August 25 through Labor Day, September 3). The stage is at center at the foot of the grandstand, backed up against the protective cyclone fence that shields the stands from the track.

DuQuoin State Fairgrounds Racetrack

DuQuoin State Fairgrounds Racetrack är en travbana i Du Quoin, Illinois i USA, beläget längs U.S. Route 51 norr om Illinois Route 14. Den är del av nöjeskomplexet DuQuoin State Fairgrounds, där bland annat ett nöjesfält ligger. Travbanan är mest känd för att ha varit värd för storloppen Hambletonian Stakes från 1957 till 1980, och World Trotting Derby från 1981 till 2009. Historia DuQuoin State Fairgrounds öppnade 1923, under hästuppfödaren William R. Hayes ledning. Under det första året anordnade Hayes festivalen DuQuoin State Fair som ett parallellt event till Illinois State Fair, som hade förbjudit spel på hästar. För att undvika konkurrens öppnade DuQuoin State Fair omedelbart efter att Illinois State Fair stängde. Festivalen hölls ursprungligen under helgen som ansluter till Labor Day. Festivalen var en ekonomisk framgång som lockade framstående underhållare och grupper, av vilka många också spelade på Illinois State Fair; mässan blev följaktligen känd som Illinois '"lilla festival" eller "andra festival". Du Quoin State Fairgrounds är listad i National Register of Historic Places sedan juli 1990. Om banan De första åren hade Hayes en travbana på en halv mile (ca. 800 meter) på sin 30 tunnland stora tomt, med läktarplatser byggda i trä med plats för 3000. 1939 började Hayes köpa angränsande mark för att utveckla parkens och travbanans potential, och utöka platsen med familjevänliga dammar och sjöar. Efter ett par år var parkens yta 1200 tunnland. Den utökade travbanan fick med tiden smeknamnet "Magic Mile" efter att den byggdes 1946, och utökades till en banlängd på en mile (1609 meter). Större lopp 1957 blev DuQuoin State Fairgrounds Racetrack den tredje travbanan som arrangerade storloppet Hambletonian Stakes. Läktarplatserna utökades till att rymma 18 000 åskådare. 1980 flyttades loppet till Meadowlands Racetrack, och banan blev istället värd för World Trotting Derby. Loppet kördes från 1981 tills det lades ner 2009. Övriga arrangemang På banan arrangeras även motorsportstävlingar, bland annat USAC National Championship och American Championship Car Racing som hölls första gången i september 1948. Den 10 oktober 1948, i det andra loppet förolyckades föraren Ted Horn i den fjärde kurvan, då en hjulspindel på hans racingbil gick sönder. Han avled 38 år gammal. Flertalet konserter har även arrangerats på banan, speciellt under den årliga festivalen. Referenser Externa länkar Officiell webbplats﻿
