Description: Here's Part 4, the last part, of a neat special called The Best of Chicago on WFLD Channel 32.

It was produced and directed by the multi-talented WFLD veteran Don Shannon, who graciously donated a copy to us. Don, whose name you have undoubtedly seen here before, was involved in producing and directing a variety of shows at WFLD spanning many decades. From Jerry G. Bishop's Svengoolie to PM Magazine and everything in between - Don saw it all.

Hosted by Norman Mark (who also co-produced it with Don), Best of Chicago purports to find just that - the "Best" of everything in the city, through an unscientific survey. A lot of this seems very reminiscent of the later Wild Chicago program, but you could probably say that about a lot of shows.
