Many Chicagoans hold an enduring love for Maxwell Street, one of the city's distinct landmarks, even now tha tits physical fabric is largely removed. The story of Maxwell Street and its market is the story of immigrants and their children, generations of working class people who contributed to the advancement of our nation. The famous area became the "Ellis Island" of the Midwest, drawing immigrants from all over the world, a and "Promised Land" for migrants from distant parts of America.
