Another evocative shot of Chicago, 1940. Click on the full-size to get all the details in the signage. It’s fascinating.

    Wow!! Love this pic!! Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer, hat shop, streetcar tracks and a fish restaurant with “tables for ladies”. Sweet!
    I wonder where under the miles of track this was taken? But Sheila, you having lived here know that no matter where you are in Chicago, under the el, wherever it is, is an actual place.
