Assignment #3: So You Think You Know Chicago?

How well do you really know Early Chicago History (1600-1900)? Before we watch Part II of the film "Chicago: City of the Century", take a short quiz about "back in the day" Chicago.

Note: The expression "back in the day", "way back when", "in the olden times", etc. are about as historically inaccurate as it gets! Pick a time period, please!

Let's see who our expert is...Post your score below when you finish.

    Lupe-Have you lived in Chicago all of your life? What do you think the average score for a Chicago-native is? Why?

    as sad as i am to say this because of my score yes i have lived in chicago my entire life, i honestly have no idea what the average would be and if its a low average i would think its because people don't know there city the way they should

    I've lived in Chicago since i was born. I think the average score for a Chicago-native is probably a 24 and up.
