History

The Fulton House is located on the North Branch of the Chicago River, right across from the ol’ Kinzie Street Rail Bridge. It is now a trendy residential tower, but it was originally a fire-proof warehouse. Then it became a cold storage warehouse in 1909 so all the meat that was slaughtered at the Union Stockyards would stay fresh.

Trivia

Cookie Monster who? Meet the Chicago Cat version of “C is for Cookie”! “C is for Chicago, that’s good enough for me!” This furry feline sings about all the epic Cs in the Windy City: Fort Dearborn markers shaped like Cs, River Point’s giant sideways C arch, and The Bean (Cloud Gate) turned just right… it’s a perfect C! But watch till the end for the perfect (and gassy) twist.

Hilarity

Family Ties didn’t take place in Chicago, but it also didn’t start with a J6 protest with QAnon Shaman falling in love with a fellow insurrectionist.
