The 2023 Chicago Transit Authority Historical Calendar is here and available for downloading to your computer. I anxiously wait every year for this calendar, which features historic photos of the City of Chicago and the CTA buses, trains, streetcars, and other forms of transportation from past eras. This year is the 75th anniversary of the CTA, and the 2023 photographs seem to feature notable moments at the CTA through the years. Unfortunately, most of these events took place in relatively recent times. Seven of the twelve months feature photographs from the 1960s and 70s, and three from the 2000s. This doesn't seem like nostalgia to me - the photos look exactly as I remember it when I lived in Chicago, and imagine it to still be today. Only two months feature photographs from before 1960, including the one featured above. Still, you can't look a gift horse in the mouth. Hopefully, next year the calendar will be back to its old self, by which I mean photographs featuring such things as horse drawn streetcars.
