Aprašymas
Hitch a harrowing ride down the most dangerous streets in Chicago as your driver, author Jan Glaz, sits behind the wheel of a Yellow Cab prior to GPS technology, cell phones, and ride-sharing Apps. In an era when all manner of unidentified strangers hailed a car with the swipe of their hand from hundreds of city-licensed cabs roaming the streets without protective shields, at all hours of the day and night. A diary is an accurate witness. From her journal she captures the essence of a bygone era in her book Chic-a-Go (Chicago). Her encounters with criminals, weird riders, police chases and flying bullets, makes for quite a trip. The book is documented and laced with photos depicting an age of taxi drivers we will never see the likes of again.
