Hi there from Chicago! Hope you all doing well. I came across this forum while researching Birmingham's history and connections to industrial heritage in the US - my family has some old ties through manufacturing and migration stories from the UK. That`s why I`m here

Thread 'Birmingham twinned with Chicago'

Feb 28, 2010

I must admit I did not realise until last week that Birmingham was twinned with Chicago. My son is there at the moment working. He said it's a brilliant place although where he is working is about an hours drive away. This weekend he booked out of his hotel and booked in one 'down town' for the weekend. He is realy enjoying it. I told him he is treading in his grandfathers footsteps as my father went there in 1950 to the first world trade fair. Here is a photo of the trade stand
