Liam T.A. Ford's Page

Welcome to my Website. I'm a reporter for the Chicago Tribune, and formerly worked for the City News Bureau of Chicago.

Although I was born in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, and lived there most of my childhood, I actually lived first in Rogers Park, on the city's Far North Side. The photo to the right is a picture of me at about age 2-1/2, sitting on a Chicago Fire Department fire truck that visited my grandmother's block on Loyola Avenue for a block party.

This site will be dedicated to Chicago history, my family history and some of my writings. Right now, it's in the early stages.

I believe this is a picture of the Chicago Tribune paper boat. The Tribune at one time owned its own forests and paper mills.
