Diversey-River Bowl 1996

This great old sign was beckoning for me to capture it one day in 1996. Diversey-River Bowl is located on Logan Boulevard and Diversey Parkway. Much of the area has changed since this photo was taken. New condo lofts and retail have taken over by the river, removing the grittiness the area once had. Today, the sign has been updated with a LED readout. The Lathrop Homes (public housing complex) just east of there remains as the city is currently renovating them.

Approaching Storm/Belmont Bus 1995

Belmont-bus-storm-1995

From what I recall, I was with my girlfriend around Belmont and Broadway just hanging out when a storm was approaching. It got dark and very windy. I think it was early afternoon. Always fascinated with storms, I started taking pictures while people were looking for a place to hide out. A few minutes later, we too ran for cover as it started to come down in buckets along with frequent lightning. I was lucky enough to get a few shots. This was one of them.

Hurse 1995

Alley-Hurse-1995

There was, of course, the official mascot of The Alley store–the hurse. They would park it out next to the Dunkin’ Donuts on Belmont and Clark or it would be here next to the entrance.

Dinkels 2009

Dinkel’s bakery first opened in 1922 and has been at the same Lakeview location ever since. Walking up Lincoln Avenue, one cannot miss that glorious neon sign.

Paulina And Lincoln 1994

Paulina-And-Lincoln-1994

Another view looking downward from the Brown Line station platform. Kerouac Jack’s is long gone. I always loved the lighting in this shot. It’s geometrical as well.
