Clark Bridge

Die Clark Bridge ist eine Schrägseilbrücke über den Mississippi River von Alton in Illinois nach West Alton in Missouri. Die Brücke, die ebenso wie das Vorgängerbauwerk nach dem Entdecker William Clark benannt wurde, ist 1994 eröffnet worden. Über die Brücke verläuft der U.S. Highway 67, der hier in südlicher Richtung in die Metropolregion um St. Louis eintritt. Die 32 m breite neue Brücke löste die 1928 fertiggestellte nur 6,1 m breite Old Clark Bridge ab, die parallel zur Alton Bridge verlief. Die neue Brücke ist vierstreifig ausgebaut und hat zudem noch pro Richtung einen Fahrradstreifen. Einzelnachweise Weblinks www.altonweb.com „Super Bridge“
Clark Bridge

The Clark Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge across the Mississippi River between West Alton, Missouri and Alton, Illinois, United States. Named after explorer William Clark like the bridge it replaced, the bridge opened in 1994. It carries U.S. Route 67 across the river. It is the northernmost river crossing in the St. Louis metropolitan area. The new $85 million, 108-foot-wide bridge (33 m) replaced the old Clark Bridge, which was only 20 feet (6.1 m) wide. The truss bridge was built in 1928. The new bridge carries two lanes of divided traffic in each direction, as well as two bike lanes. The old bridge carried only two lanes (similar to the upstream Champ Clark Bridge). The bridge is sometimes referred to as the Super Bridge, and its construction process was documented in the 1997 NOVA episode Super Bridge, which highlighted the challenges of building the bridge, especially during the Great Flood of 1993. Designed by Hanson Engineers under contract to Illinois Department of Transportation (DOT), the Clark Bridge was the first in the United States in which "such a light steel-framed cable-stayed design was combined with a cable saddle type of pylon". The bridge used 8,100 short tons (7,200 long tons; 7,300,000 kg) of structural steel; 44,100 cubic yards (33,700 m3) of concrete; and more than 160 miles (260 km) of cable wrapped with 4 acres (1.6 ha) of yellow plastic piping.

Manny's Deli

Manny's Cafeteria and Delicatessen, commonly known as Manny's Deli and sometimes known as Manny's Coffee Shop & Deli, is a delicatessen in Chicago, Illinois, United States, located in the Near West Side community area. It has been described as "the biggest, best-known, and oldest deli in the city". The deli has long been a meeting place for Chicago politicians and became the subject of national interest because of its popularity with President Barack Obama. One writer called Manny's "the second-most-likely place to see local politicians, after City Hall", and former governor George Ryan referred to it in his memoir as "one of my favorite places to eat lunch in Chicago" and reminisced about once receiving a phone call from Nelson Mandela while eating a corned beef sandwich there. History Manny's traces its history back to 1942, when the Raskin brothers, Jack and Charlie, went into business together in Chicago, opening the Purity deli located at Van Buren and Halsted streets. After World War II, Jack Raskin opened his own restaurant on Roosevelt Road near Maxwell Street, where he purchased a business known as Sunny's. To save money, Raskin chose to name his new restaurant "Manny's" after his son Emanuel, known as Manny, thereby requiring only two letters on the "Sunny's" sign to be replaced. The restaurant had various locations over the ensuing years, with Manny Raskin eventually taking over for his father, Jack. Manny Raskin moved the cafeteria to its current location at 1141 South Jefferson Street in 1964. Manny Raskin's son Kenneth began managing the restaurant during his father's lifetime and continued to do so after his father died in 1983. It is now run by Ken Raskin and Ken's son Dan. It has moved multiple times through the years, and was renovated in 2016. The restaurant celebrated its 80th anniversary in 2022 with Governor J. B. Pritzker in attendance. In 2002, a Manny's location was opened at Midway International Airport, but it closed in 2017 when many of the airport's restaurants were replaced. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Manny's gave away 1,000 free sandwiches to customers wearing masks. In 2022, Manny's began making some of its food available for nationwide shipping. In August 2018, Manny's was featured in an episode of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives; the show revisited Manny's in a Triple D Nation episode that aired in April 2026. Cuisine Manny's is self-described as a "Jewish-style cafeteria", although it is not kosher. Among the foods it is known for are corned beef sandwiches, pastrami sandwiches, potato pancakes, and matzo ball soup. See also List of Ashkenazi Jewish restaurants References

Ogden Slip

The Ogden Slip is a canal and harbor in Chicago, Illinois that was constructed in the 1861 by William B. Ogden's Chicago Dock and Canal Company. It was long surrounded by warehouses. Today, it is surrounded by mixed-use and residential developments. History In 1861, Chicago Dock and Canal Company constructed the Odgen Slip. It was among many real estate investments that the company made that were overseen by William B. Ogden. The slip was constructed with approval by the United States Department of War. The slip parallels the North Bank of the Chicago River, and was utilized as a harbor, and was home to warehouses well into the twentieth century. By the 1960s, formal discussions were had by the Chicago Dock and Canal Company about redeveloping the real estate surrounding the slip. By the mid-1980s, redevelopment around the slip was being formally planned. The Chicago Dock and Canal Trust was still controlled by William B. Ogden's descendants, and made their property in the area available for residential and commercial development as part of the planned Cityfront Center development. The abutting Pugh Terminal building (originally built between 1905 and 1920) was renovated into "North Pier", a retail complex. Ogden Slip view corridor The so-called "Ogden Slip view corridor" was created in the mid-1980s. When the redevelopment of the real estate near and surrounding the Ogden Slip was taking place, the city adopted a policy to preserve a view of the top of the Tribune Tower from Lake Shore Drive through a sight corridor aligned with the slip. Several subsequently constructed buildings (such as NBC Tower, Loews Hotel Tower, and 465 North Park) have had their designs influenced by this policy. See also DuSable Park (Chicago) References
MCC Academy

Muslim Community Center Academy (MCCA) is a Muslim K-12 school in the Chicago metropolitan area and in Illinois. Pre-Kindergarten and elementary school students attend classes in Skokie while secondary grades are in Morton Grove. History The school purchased land for a single campus in Morton Grove in 1989. The school described 1989 as its year of establishment. The school began operations in August of the following year. It initially had grades Kindergarten through 2. 25 students were enrolled when the school opened. At first the school had seven principals before 2002, and that year its enrollment count was 175. In 2002 Habeeb Quadri, the son of the founder of the MCC organization, became the principal. He later became the superintendent. For a period of time the school had grades K-8 only, partly because since 2004, the government of Morton Grove did not permit the institution to add high school. In early 2014 the school had 50 employees and 476 students. In 2014 Skokie School District 68 sold MCC a school building that was previously a private Jewish day school, Solomon Schechter Day School, and the Kenton School. That year MCC moved its elementary school students to that campus. In 2018 MCCA had 129 students at the middle school level. That year, the Morton Grove government agreed to lift the restrictions on high school students, with new rules allowing up to 25 high school students to enter each year. The high school, MCCA College Prep, opened in 2018 with 11 9th grade students. In 2020 the school had 740 students. It also has a hifz program, which had 40 students in 2018. Campuses The secondary campus has 26,035 square feet (2,418.7 m2) of area and includes a mosque and a parking lot that can accommodate over 200 cars. The elementary campus in Skokie retained the prayer room and a mural reflecting Jewish culture. Academics Oakton Community College allows students of MCC at the high school level to take university-level classes. Athletics In 2016 a girls' basketball team began to play in the Illinois Elementary School Association's league, making it the only hijab-wearing team. References External links MCC Academy

Comiskey Park

Le Comiskey Park était un stade de baseball situé à Chicago, dans l'État de l'Illinois, aux États-Unis. Il se trouvait au 324 West 35th Street, dans le secteur communautaire d'Armour Square, à quelques kilomètres au sud du secteur financier du Loop. Il fut remplacé par l'actuel Guaranteed Rate Field (anciennement U.S. Cellular Field). Histoire Charles Comiskey cherche, depuis 1903 à installer ses White Sox de Chicago dans une enceinte moderne. En 1909, il fait enfin l'acquisition d'un vaste terrain propice à son projet. Comiskey dépense 100 000 dollars pour l'achat du terrain et 500 000 dollars pour bâtir son stade qui est inauguré le 1er juillet 1910 sous le nom de « White Sox Park » devant 30 000 spectateurs. Comiskey Park offre alors un standing inédit, valant rapidement au stade d'être surnommé « The Baseball Palace of the World ». Le stade est agrandi en 1927 par l'ajout d'un étage des bleachers puis connait une première rénovation en 1941 avant l'ajout de loges durant les années 1980. Les structures anciennes du stade sont trop fragiles pour ces différents ajouts et la mise en chantier du New Comiskey Park devient impérative. En 1969, Comiskey Park est équipé de la première pelouse artificielle de la Ligue américaine. Toutefois, en 1975, Bill Veeck, nouveau propriétaire des White Sox fit remettre de la pelouse naturelle. On joua ainsi un temps avec de la pelouse naturelle en champ extérieur et de la pelouse artificielle en champ intérieur. Événements World Series, 1917, 1918, 1919 et 1959 Match des étoiles de la Ligue majeure de baseball 1933, 6 juillet 1933 Match des étoiles de la Ligue majeure de baseball 1950, 11 juillet 1950 Match des étoiles de la Ligue majeure de baseball 1983, 6 juillet 1983 Concerts de The Jacksons les 12, 13 et 14 octobre 1984 dans le cadre de leur Victory Tour (120.000 spectateurs). Apparition au cinéma Dans le film Ta mère ou moi (1991), Danny (John Candy) et Theresa (Ally Sheedy) pique-niquent sur la pelouse du stade grâce à la complicité du régisseur. La scène dure 4 minutes, et on peut voir le régisseur allumer les panneaux géants et déclencher un feu d'artifice sur le stade. Danny regrette à plusieurs reprises que le stade soit prochainement démoli. On aperçoit aussi un plan de l'extérieur du stade avec une vue sur le Guaranteed Rate Field de l'autre côté de la rue.

Comiskey Park

Il Comiskey Park è stato uno stadio di baseball situato a Chicago, negli Stati Uniti. Era l'impianto che ospitava le partite casalinghe dei Chicago White Sox, squadra della Major League Baseball (MLB). Fu inaugurato nel 1910; era sito tra la 35th Street e la Shields Avenue. È stato demolito nel 1991. Storia Venne costruito da Charles Comiskey su progetto di Zachary Taylor Davis e fu inaugurato il 1º luglio 1910. Vi si tennero quattro World Series, cioè le finali della MLB; una di queste World Series fu giocata dai Chicago Cubs che non avevano posti a sufficienza nel Wrigley Field, il loro stadio di casa; vi furono giocate più di 6000 partite della Major League Baseball. Nel 1933 ha ospitato il primo All-Star Game di tutti i tempi. Il 12 luglio 1979, in occasione di una doppia partita tra i White Sox e i Detroit Tigers, si tenne nell'impianto la Disco Demolition Night, una promozione pubblicitaria che degenerò e che provocò notevoli danni al terreno del Comiskey Park, con conseguente perdita a tavolino per i White Sox del secondo incontro previsto con i Tigers. L'impianto, ormai vetusto, venne chiuso il 30 settembre 1990 una volta completato il suo sostituto e fu demolito nel 1991. Il successore del Comiskey Park fu costruito ad ovest della 35th Street e venne chiamato anch'esso Comiskey Park (o "nuovo" Comiskey Park) fino al 2003, quando il nome fu cambiato in U.S. Cellular Field (poi Guaranteed Rate Field). A volte il Comiskey Park originale viene chiamato il "vecchio" Comiskey Park.
