Richard J. Daley would be proud of you! Appropriate that you did this at the Chicago Auto Show.

Chicago; former home of Bally Manufacturing Corporation.

Default Re: Bally

Do you mean a brick from the demolished Belmont Avenue plant?

I have several myself. Hard to believe the only buildings still standing from the complex would be the engineering building on Fletcher.

The Oakley Blvd. silkscreening building was still there a few years ago and the old main plant on Ravenswood was remodeled and still has an art deco look. Just like the days when Ballyhoo tabletop pinball machines were rolling off the line there.
