This Afternoon, Chicago lost a real hometown legend. Pete Kastanes of #VanishedChicagoland sadly passed away. Pete was the essence of Chicago. His ultimate goal was to share Chicago History with our City & Chicagoans around the World. Pete's Vanished Chicagoland Group on Facebook and across social media was definitely a huge influence for us, in doing what we do daily. Our thoughts and prayers are with Pete's Family and Friends. We hope to do our best to keep Pete's legacy remembered for lifetimes. Pete Kastanes was, is, and will forever be #ChicagoHistory.
