Men's boutique Haberdash worked with the Chicago History Museum to produce this 4-minute video of the history of the South Loop from the Burnham Plan to the 1933 World's Fair to modern day. The video was released in time to coincide the opening of Haberdash's new store at The Roosevelt Collection development in the South Loop, which features a La Colombe espresso and coffee shop.
