Watch this:

You will notice some very interesting things!

I think the Lake View parade is on Lincoln (the video looks like it is near near Paulina and Roscoe) ,but I could be wrong...

There are more nuggets on there too!

Damn, what a lineup that was...all legends in their own right. Back when news was done by reporters, and not models reading teleprompters.

I didn't have anything to add besides thinking that was kind of cool. But I didn't bother typing it. Now I will.

That was kind of cool.

Never heard of Bill Kurtis? One of the most distinctive voices in media period. Still does some programs on cable (American Justice, Cold Case Files. Also narrated the movie "Anchorman"). Also used to host "The New Explorers" on PBS back in the late 80s/early 90s, and anchored the CBS Morning News.

Harry Porterfield still does some occasional "soft news" stories for ABC7.

And well, Gene Siskel at the end...

Unrelated, but I randomly ran across this video while searching for something else from the 1996 Democratic Convention. But the bus driver gives a great tour of the city, and I think you can sense the pride Chicagoans have in their city (although I cant say Ive ever gotten a bus driver this friendly )

And the chaos of the convention floor
