AND GEOFFREY BAER JOINS US NOW.

JEFFREY, IT'S GREAT TO HAVE YOU.

AND WE ARE READY FOR YOU REMIND THAT AT 10 A DUTY TO SOME OF THESE PLACES.

BUT FIRST ITS OBJECTIVE HERE AND EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN LIST.

SO HOW DID YOU DECIDE WHAT TO INCLUDE?

WELL, YOU KNOW, THERE 2 KINDS OF BEAUTY, REALLY.

I MEAN, THERE'S JUST THE DROP DEAD, INCREDIBLY JAW DROPPING, GORGEOUS BEAUTY.

AND THERE'S PLENTY OF THAT IN THIS SHOW AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT.

I'M SURE.

>> BUT THEN THERE'S ALSO THIS SORT THE STORIES THAT PEOPLE TELL HIM WHY THESE PLACES ARE SO BEAUTIFUL TO THEM.

AND THERE'S THERE'S A LOT OF THAT IN THE PROGRAM AS WELL.

THE STORIES ARE EVERY BIT AS IMPORTANT AS THE BEAUTIFUL VISUALS AS WAS WITH THE FIRST 20 START OFF WITH THE CULTURAL CENTER.

ALL OF US KNOW THAT BEAUTIFUL TIFFANY DOME THERE.

BUT YOU TAKE US TO A ROOM THAT'S NOT AS YEAH.

WELL, THAT'S A TIFFANY DOME RIGHT IT THIS IS REALLY THE INSPIRATION FOR THE SHOW FOR ME BECAUSE EVERY TIME YOU TAKE SOMEBODY INTO THE CULTURAL CENTER RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM LENNY IN PARK.

THEY THEY CAN'T BELIEVE THEIR EYES.

THESE THESE GORGEOUS MOSAICS.

THIS IS A DOME THAT WAS COVERED UP FOR DECADES, LIT WITH UGLY FLUORESCENT LIGHT.

IT'S CALLED THE IT'S NOT CIVIL WAR.

MEMORIAL AND IT'S BEEN COMPLETELY THAT'S BEEN COMPLETELY TRANSFORMED.

THEY THEY SCRAPED OFF THE OLD PAYS DESIGNED BY TIFFANY AND THE CULTURAL CENTER, AS YOU KNOW, I THINK WAS THE ORIGINAL CHICAGO PUBLIC NOT IT WAS CLOSE TO BEING TORN DOWN.

DOES THAT MEAN USING?

YEAH, BECAUSE THERE'S A POINT AT WHICH BUILDINGS ARE ALL RIGHT BEFORE THEIR HISTORIC.

THEY'RE JUST AND WE DON'T RECOGNIZE THE BEAUTY, YOU AND SO IT'S AMAZING THAT THIS THOUGHT TO BE TORN DOWN.

FABULOUS MORNING BY THE PALMER FAMILY WITH BIRTH OF PALMER POTTER WELL, IT WAS BUILT ON PART OF THE 4 DEARBORN RESERVE.

SO AS MILITARY LAND AND THAT'S WHY THEY HAD TO AGREE WHEN THEY BUILT THE LIBRARY TO INCLUDE A CIVIL WAR MEMORIAL.

HOW IN IT I SEE.

OKAY.

INTERESTING.

WE'RE GOING TO TURN TO ANOTHER ONE.

CITY'S TREASURES ALSO ALMOST LOST A VERY FAVORITE SPOT OF MINE TO GO AND REFLECT.

THAT'S THE CALDWELL, LILY POND.

YOU KNOW, PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT THIS.

IT'S SUCH A HIDDEN GEM.

IT'S ADJACENT LINCOLN PARK ZOO AND IT'S THIS SERENE LILY POND DESIGNED BY ALFRED CALDWELL WHO WAS A DISCIPLE OF THE FAMOUS NATURALISTIC LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT JENS JENSEN AND YEAH, THEN THE ZOO TOOK IT OVER FOR THEIR LIKE PELICANS AND SEA BIRDS AND THINGS GOT TRAMPLED IN THE SHOW.

YOU SEE THE ARCHITECT WHO DESIGNED IT COMES BACK AND SEES WHAT'S HAPPENED TO IT.

IN THE 1990'S, AN EAST HEARTBROKEN.

IT WAS BUT ACTUALLY HE DIDN'T LIVE TO SEE IT OFFERED CALDWELL RESTORED SO THAT THEY SO THERE'S LIKE A SERVANT BUT IT'S SUCH A GREAT LEGACY BECAUSE IT IS ONE OF THOSE HIT.

AND YOU JUST WANT TO HIM LEAVE IT WITH YOU TO FULL SPOT.

JUST ABSOLUTE CAN'T.

ALRIGHT, STICKING WITH ONE OF THE PEOPLE YOU TALK TO SHOW IS AND URBAN ECOLOGIST NAME YEAH, DEJA PERKINS AND SHE'S INTRODUCING FOLKS TO THE GEORGIA BIRDWELL.

JUST I ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING PEOPLE I'VE EVER INTERVIEWED IN MY LIFE.

YOU KNOW, SHE'S A YOUNG SHE'S THE ONE IN THE RED HAIR THERE.

YOU'LL SEE HERE IN A MOMENT AND SHE REALLY MAKES IT HER MISSION TO TAKE PEOPLE OF COLOR OUT INTO NATURE WHERE SHE SHE SAYS THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE OF COLOR HAVEN'T FELT WELCOME.

THEY HAVEN'T FELT SAFE IN NATURE AND SHE WANTS ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY TO ENJOY NATURE.

SHE SAID WHEN SHE WAS GROWING UP IN THE CITY, SHE KNOW THAT NATURE EXISTED IN THE CITY AND SHE TOOK THE BIRD WATCHING, WHICH I'VE NEVER DONE BEFORE AND ENJOY IT SHE'S CONVERTED ME.

I THINK IT WAS REALLY FUN.

THAT'S A LOT OF FOLKS ON THE NATURE DESPITE THE MODEL HERBS AND HEART.

EXACTLY CITY AND GUARD CITY.

I DO.

ABSOLUTELY.

IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT WORK THAT SHE'S ALSO INCLUDE A PRIVATE HOME IN OLD TOWN.

TELL US WHY THIS ONE HOME MADE THE CUT.

WELL, SO THERE ARE A COUPLE OF PLACES THAT ARE NOT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.

AND THIS IS ONE OF THEM IN THIS PLACE.

YOU WALK INTO THIS HOUSE, YOU JUST CANNOT BELIEVE YOUR EYES AND SOMETIMES CALLED A HANDMADE HOUSE EDGAR MILLER.

AND IT'S LIKE HE DID EVERYTHING HE CARVED THE WOOD.

HE MOLDED THE PLASTER MOLD ON THE WALL THERE STAINED GLASS.

THERE'S EVERY KIND HERE.

HAVE CARVED A RED DOOR AND ALL OF THAT.

ALL OF THIS IS EDGAR MILLER.

SO HE DID ON THE STAINED GLASS ALL AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

THE WOOD YOU JUST CANNOT BELIEVE YOUR EYES WHEN YOU GO INTO THIS PLACE.

AND IT WAS KIND OF ONE OF THOSE BOHEMIAN SORT OF LIKE ARTISTS COLONY SORT OF IT'S REALLY, REALLY WONDERFUL THAT WE'RE GOING TO GET A PRINT PEOPLE GET TO SEE THE INSIDE OF IT BECAUSE AS THEY SAY, IT'S NOT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC ALL THIS.

THE TILE WORK, EVERYTHING ANOTHER A HOME.

AND I HOPE WE HAVE A CLIP OF THIS.

HOME IN AURORA DISLIKE DOUGHNUT SHAPED.

HOW DOES THAT TELL US ABOUT THAT?

IT'S CALLED RUTH BEEN SICKLE FOR IN-HOUSE RUTH AND SAM FORD HOUSE WHEN IT WAS UNDER CONSTRUCTION IN AURORA, THERE WAS A SIGN OUT FRONT THAT SAID WE DON'T LIKE YOUR HOUSE EITHER.

IT WAS DESIGNED A SELF-TAUGHT ARCHITECT.

THIS GUY, BRUCE COUGH, AND HE IS RECYCLED THINGS LIKE THOSE ARE PIECES OF WORLD WAR, 2 QUONSET HUTS.

THERE'S THE SIGN AND YOU KNOW THAT THERE THE DOME IN THE IN THE BATHROOM IS FROM A WORLD WAR, 2 BOMBER AIRPLANE THAT'S THROWN AWAY GLASS ON THE SIDE.

ONE WALL IS WHOLE.

AND YOU KNOW THE OWNER OF THIS, IT ROBINSON WAS SO GENEROUS TO ALLOW US FILM INSIDE THE HOME AND REALLY SHOW THIS THIS AMAZING PLACE, WHICH WAS 9 FOR AN ARTIST WHO RAN AN ART SCHOOL IN CHICAGO.

AND SHE SORT OF BUILT IT AS A KIND OF BIT OF SELF-PROMOTION JEFFREY.

WE KNOW YOUR MANY TALENTS, BUT THERE'S A SCENE.

I THINK IT WAS IN THIS GLENN HOW LEICESTER HOUSE YOU'RE SITTING PLAYING OKAY WITH THE HAD NO IDEA THAT YOU HAVE THAT TOWN.

SO FOLKS SHOULD TUNE IN TO WATCH YOU DO SO HOW MUCH OF ELECTIONS WERE THE RESULT OF FOLKS READING IN AFTER THE FIRST ONE SAYING?

>> WHAT DID YOU INCLUDE THIS INCLUDE THAT?

ABSOLUTELY.

IN FACT, ONE PERSON WHO WROTE IN SAID WHY DIDN'T YOU INCLUDE GUNNY HARBAUGH, THE FAMOUS RESTORATION ARCHITECT AND >> SURE ENOUGH.

SO YES, VIEWERS SUGGESTIONS I WE DO LISTEN TO THEM THAT SUGGEST THAT THERE MIGHT BE A PART 3 HERE.

BUT FIRST THINGS FIRST PART 2 AIRING TONIGHT 07:00PM.
