Chicago old siren system

Mon Feb 26, 2018 12:28 am

Yeah see above. The creator (me) is native to Chicago and we will talk mostly about what we know about the 5 H.O.R super si-rex's that were in the downtown area during the 1950's to the 1990's. I somehow got to see the H.O.R super si-rex platform on the field building from the UIC. I went on google earth and spotted it. It is hard to see but I circled it so you guys can see it. Upon further investigation, I found the roof of the field building is accessible so maybe if I get a chance to get access to the roof, I'll try to get some pictures. If I am unable to, I recommend you try. Also (yes we're almost done) check this map out. https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mi ... 39256&z=10 for the old system. For the rest, check out:https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mi ... 750002&z=7
*UPDATE* as of March 2, the rotator is still there

Well, all we know is that part of one remains on top of the Field Building, being the tower and rotor are only left on it. All of the others were removed. I'm a Chicago native as well.
