Bye Bye, Damen Silos
from In the Loop with Sasha-Ann Simons
The Damen Silos in McKinley Park on Chicago’s Southwest side serve as a visual reminder of the city’s history as an agrarian trading center. But the process to demolish the silos is now underway. Reset speaks with Kate Eakin, executive director of McKinley Park Development Council, and Chicago journalist Robert Loerzel about the role the silos played in early 20th-century Chicago and what lies ahead for the site and the surrounding neighborhood.
