Note that Cermak eventually died from his wounds, resulting in a street getting named after him. On that street was a giant printing building converted into a data center, becoming one of the most important internet connection points for a few decades.<p>A lot of people here have probably dealt with computers inside of or connected to 350 E Cermak&#x2F;CHI1. There’s your tech connection to Roosevelt :)
