Your favorite search engine is your friend: (here's one of many Goose Island articles)
Where on Goose Island did your Father live??----When did he leave the Island? Do you know the address or the name of the street he lived on....Do you or any members of your Family know any other names of people who lived there--pre 1940?????
[b]That's what I was trying to find out. Grand fathers name was Frank OStachowski. They moved to Noble st'sometime later. My dad passed at 89 years old was born in 1898 on Goose Island and that's all I know. [/b]
my best memory re. Goose Island was the old Ogden Ave elevated roadway 'overpass'. I think when the city decided to phase it out early '80s Goose Island lost its best landmark
didn't the Seeburg Music Mfg (the old juke-box company) used to be on Goose Island?
