Chicago bids farewell to Maxwell Street as the 120‑year tradition closes after today. Vendors recall a crowded, colorful scene where immigrants bartered for belts, tools, and Polish sausages, while University of Illinois Chicago moves to redevelop the land, replacing the open‑air bazaar with a smaller, regulated market on Canal Street.
