I especially like the "Omnibus Lines" schedule; and the "Legal Hack or Cab Fare" with: "Children under five years of age carried Free any distance not exceeding one mile."

bowler, I agree. And here is another recently found map:
Guide Map of Chicago 1867
Four inset views of Chicago, plus a sailing ship. And, a most unusual item for any Chicago map I've seen; an area shown at the lake shore, just north of North Avenue, in present day Lincoln Park, labeled " Rebel Graves."

Mr. Downtown
I think you posted this before, most of the links are broken, at least the ones to cartweb are.

Richard, you have to have your pictures on Flickr then what you do is hit the Flickr button (blue/red dot) where you type in your posts. the first time you do it, it will ask if you want to authorize the module to access your flickr account. There is a link, the word "authorize" next to step 1 click the word and it will take you to flickr to sign in. once you sign in it will give you a code, put that code in the box under step 2.
After that when you hit the blue/red button it will bring up you pictures, click the one you want to insert in your message.
