Championing History
Hey family and friends!
In Jamie Ford's Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet, he mentions that Dearborn Street had once been named Mikado but was changed during the Internment to Dearborn. He took artistic license with the date of change, but his point wasn't lost on me.
So I contacted City Council member Bruce Harrell who is interested in pursuing this in honor of the adjoining Japanese Community.
