CHUCKMAN'S PHOTOS ON WORDPRESS: CHICAGO NOSTALGIA AND MEMORABILIA 
I was 13 when this was taken if I read this correctly and taken in 1950. I missed the old red streetcars when they abandoned them for the new bouncy ones that made me sea sick! 🙂 Also miss the 1950s as well. Better times!
Hi Robert,
It is certainly a friendly old urban image, full of bustle.
They were certainly different times. I almost can’t believe how much has changed from that approximate date.
It would likely frighten us to know how much more and faster things will change in the next few generations.
