Chicago Photos 7

Illinois, USA

Ah, signs of the good old days. An old fashioned Chicago-style traffic signal, gas prices of the day, an early mid-fifties Chev and Cadillac, and, of course, a Pullman Standard. The bus driver is walking away from the bus, apparently having been relieved by another driver. Photographer unknown. Submitted by Kenneth Josephson.

A three quarters (10 out of 12 possibilities) of a grand union on the Chicago el at Lake St. and Wells Ave. The photo faces north at the Lake St. crossing, looking past the old Tower 18. Photographer and date unknown.
