WBBM Channel 2 - New Year's Eve: Chicago Style (Part 4, 1979/1980)

Here's Part 4, the last part, of "New Year's Eve: Chicago Style" - a special on WBBM Channel 2. Unfortunately, the recording starts during a commercial break and we miss the first 10 minutes or so of the broadcast - still, lots of local fun in this one. :-) This part includes:

Bob Wallace reports again from Arnie's Restaurant and then belts out a little of "My Kind of Town" while the ending credits roll.
