  1. Just about the time this photo was taken, her proud parents brought baby Hillary Rodham back to their apartment in the building to the right of the Cromwell at 5722 N. Winthrop. They soon after moved to Park Ridge.

  2. Thanks for the historical tidbit, anonymous! I knew that she had grown up in Park Ridge; I didn't realize her family lived on Winthrop at one point.

  3. She was born at Edgewater Hospital.

  4. I'll have to double check, but I *think* that's the same hospital my dad and his siblings were born.

    And John Wayne Gacy.
