Ask Geoffrey The Skokie Ditch

It is time once again for another session of Ask Geoffrey from Chicago's PBS station WTTW. I find this very interesting because the area Geoffrey is talking about is very familiar to me. I passed it many times as a kid and still do once in awhile. The question is "There is a small but ornate bridge on Sheridan Road in Kenilworth located between Winnetka Avenue and Kenilworth Avenue. There does not appear to be anything under this bridge. An old map of the area refers to this site as the Skokie Ditch. What exactly is the Skokie Ditch?"

Check out this interesting video with me when you get a moment.

That was interesting! I like how you promote the City of Chicago and its surrounding areas via Ask Geoffrey. Very smart indeed!!!

A bridge above nothing.  I like it as well.  Fun info.  Seems no matter the times when something is tried for the improvement of many a select few find a way to help ruin it for all by considering it for their personal gain.  In this matter history does not repeat itself but rather continues day to day.  Mark

Hi Noah -- bookmarked this and I believe nearly every Ask Geoffrey segment.   It's always a great segment and if I mean err  when I next visit Chicagoland and you happen to be too busy showing/listing/selling/closing properties to show me around, I have plenty of things on my list to see/do courtesy of Geoffrey.

I didn't know much about the particulars, but it's a fair assessment, I would say. Love and light!

I have lived in a NW Chicago suburb since 1962. I found the video, PBS WTTW, Ask Geoffrey, very interesting:  the Skokie Ditch, the Edens Expressway, and the Town of Zion.  I have thought through the years that perhaps there was some little mystery about the little town. The video presented some fascinating facts and information.
