Anonymous asked:

Would you consider posting a photo of the are *now* along with the movie shot or old photo? That would be cool to see “then and now” if possible.

Whenever I can, I (usually) post links to the Google Streetview image of the location in question. Anytime you see “(here)” in the post, it’s a link to the Streetview image (which in retrospect, maybe isn’t that obvious.)

In the upper right hand corner, you can see a sign for Dearborn Wholesale Grocers. They have had several locations throughout Chicago, but this one appears to be at 1601 S. Ashland. The building is now used for self-storage, but you can see an older photo of the building with the sign here.

(North State St., near Chicago, maybe? Hard to say. After 1978, nearly everything in this photo has been demolished and replaced.)
