Join Geoffrey Baer in solving more mysteries at www.wttw.com/mysteries

This should have been an episodic series. And Baer knows most of these mysteries, he covered them on his other shows lol

Make more Chicago Mysteries episodes!!

Buncha ungrateful babies in here, It's free......thanks Geoffrey!!!

Love ya Geoffrey!

"'Thru the garden" in our kitchen we add fresh cucumber slices (concept borrowed from Bozo Hotdogs in NW Indiana) PS we went on the ghost tour years ago with Mr. Kaczmarek (fun and scary)

This was absolutely wonderful! Thank you Geoffrey!

I love Geoffrey Baer! He's so approachable and has such a sense of adventure. This was very interesting. I never heard of most of these stories, so this was a real treat. Thanks.

Love Geoffrey! Made me love Chicago!

I love Dilla’s content! Super cool how you included him in this!

Another great video

I took care of descendants of the Swift family, as well as Ogden, Byron Smith family, someone who worked on the manhattan project…. and so many more. I usually didn’t know until I’d read their obituaries what kind of history their families had! Always interesting characters!!!❤

I like the Baer videos, but this one wasn't quite up to the caliber of the others. Some of these "mysteries" were covered other times by Baer, and most were not mysteries. Some interesting Chicago history in parts, but something was off about this conceptually.

The lady talking about ketchup on hotdogs is dead wrong. Ketchup is for hamburgers and fries. Mustard is for sausages and hotdogs.

Tom freaking Skilling.

I used to hear rumors about the outfit disposing of undesirables at the Higrades hot dog plant. Remember they plump when you cook e'm!

You don't put catsup on a Chicago dog because it's 80% brisket - 100% beef. It's rude to put catsup on quality beef

How about the Leaning Tower! An factory owner building a resort for his workers. Nice.

Related to the "Garalows". Mayor Big Jim Thompson owned "City Services". One of the "services ' was concrete. In the roaring 20's he would lay down sideways in huge sections the city where there would sidewalks but no streets or houses. The collapse of the of the housing market in 1930-33 there were scores of foundations dug but no $ to build a house (or people to buy them). So, they filled in the basements, and they stayed buried for 20 years and were "cleaned out" in the early 1950's post war housing boom.

Wait... I thought the Sausage King of Chicago was ABE FROMAN??

Regarding Native American trails that are now roads, you can also see this very clearly in parts of Tokyo. There are some places where a 2 mile stretch of road takes one hour to drive through, because it retraces the path of Edo-era pilgrims or merchant routes.

Chance the Snapper!

new catchphrase: Dale!?

Ronnie Meyer?

I just put ketchup on my fine, aged Luettgert sausages. That way they look just right and don’t taste so fleshy. Yum!

🔥💯❤️

No one took a picture of the “UFO”

I don't associate with anyone who puts ketchup on a hot dog!

“Chicago Hotdog” ok no ketchup in that, but not everyone likes all that garbage on a hotdog. Many, many people in Chicago put ketchup on their hotdog, it’s completely normal. I prefer ketchup and mustard only.

I got a Chicago mystery for you where them people getting all them guns from?

THIS ""STUFF"" IS FOR PEOPLE WHO DONT HAVE A CLUE, ABOUT ANYTHING,,,,,,,, >>>>> BAER SHOULD LOOK FOR REGULAR IMPLOYMENT, SOMEWHERE ELSE !!!!!!
