Chicagoist is a sucker for old photographs of Chicago, so we were pleased to learn of Shorpy, the 100-year-old photo blog, from Palla Palla. This photo "Wabash Avenue El: 1907" was the first to suck us in. From there it was over. So many great photos of Chicago from so long ago. We also especially love "Southside Easter: 1941" and "Pabst Over Chicago: 1943." The photos of Chicago are our favorites, but we love all of them really. Which photos do you like?
