Description

1955 in Chicago, Illinois:

13 MADE IN U.S.A. 898 N/W on Milwaukee at Elston showing warning signal at S/W corner 3-4-55

KODACHROME TRANSPARENCY BUREAU OF STREET TRAFFIC

This is a shot of Milwaukee Ave taken from Elston looking northwest. Compare it to <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?mrt=loc&t=h&q=milwaukee+&+elston,+chicago&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Milwaukee+&+Elston&ll=41.896988,-87.656557&spn=0.000316,0.000966&z=21&layer=c&cbll=41.896988,-87.656557&panoid=x49K4PHfblXeK6OqVe2bHw&cbp=13,311.88,,0,-5.88" rel="nofollow">Google Streetview</a>. I love that the streetcar tracks are still in place, but wonder why right turns from Milwaukee onto Elston would ever be prohibited.
