For decades, Christmas in Chicago meant a trip or two to State Street. Leslie Goddard's joins us to explore the history of Christmas at the big department stores on State Street. She'll use photos, ads and memorabilia to trace the cherished traditions including the animated window displays and beloved characters like the Cinnamon Bear and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Drawn from her book, Lost Chicago Department Stores.
