His name was Sollitt (French Huguenot roots in our family). I believe he "founded" or had something to do with the town called Sollitt in the south part of Chicago - Orange county I think it is. It is probably just a suburb now. My dad still has correspondence he wrote from there in the late 1800's with the postal mark "Sollitt".sparrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05813281777476012154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5419317517202470182.post-45767007906561484782012-11-28T07:57:07.961+02:002012-11-28T07:57:07.961+02:00A place I have always wanted to visit - and now I ...A place I have always wanted to visit - and now I have done it virtually!

My husband is always identifying "that's Chicago, I recognize the Sear's Tower" which I find so funny as he's never been to Chicago, even though his grandfather was a gangster rum-runner there back in the day! Thankfully, he (hubby) did not inherit any of those gangster traits!Sara at Come Away With Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677354270954094291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5419317517202470182.post-10060184268345802272012-11-26T18:06:36.771+02:002012-11-26T18:06:36.771+02:00Thanks for sharing your Chicago experience.Thanks for sharing your Chicago experience.photodoughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743431424843661434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5419317517202470182.post-18348143588983353192012-11-26T11:52:14.677+02:002012-11-26T11:52:14.677+02:00Please return for the answer to your Jewish geogra...Please return for the answer to your Jewish geography question. :) Dinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03461925401870320466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5419317517202470182.post-14320234926157049272012-11-26T01:15:32.193+02:002012-11-26T01:15:32.193+02:00Chicago is immense to our eyes looking up - and ma...Chicago is immense to our eyes looking up - and manageable as we look from above. This is a city that has broad shoulders and looks so right next to the deep blue Lake Michigan waters. I've only seen the Sears Tower (as I remember it too :) climbing out of O'Hare which from 4000 feet is not so tall. Nice look at a great American city!Ralphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09330927601223362873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5419317517202470182.post-88759702039941177972012-11-25T23:51:29.948+02:002012-11-25T23:51:29.948+02:00Chicago is the best!
