2000 / ON LOCATION
Record-shop obsession is placed inside a North Side ecosystem of schools, cinemas, clubs and emotional lists.
High Fidelity’s North Side route is built from exact places named by Choose Chicago: Lane Tech, the Music Box and the Green Mill. These locations map Rob’s romantic post-mortem through school memory, cinema frontage and a working music room. Wrigley Field, Metro, Daley Plaza and Chess Records were removed because the source did not connect them to this title.
3 public-place or area references. Private properties and unlocated historic sites stay off the map.
