Episode 54: Montrose Beach Chicago an Engineered Shoreline, Cold War Command Center, and Accidental Bird Sanctuary
Montrose Beach in Chicago was raised from landfill. Cricket Hill has a surprising origin story. The Dock was once a Cold War command center and the quiet bird sanctuary nearby grew out of land that once held radar towers and housed military personnel. Montrose Harbor is a reminder that places evolve, they carry layers of history — some visible, some buried, some forgotten — and all of them shape the way we experience Chicago today. That’s what I like to think about when I’m walking around the city. How every part of our city has a story if you pause long enough to notice.
