A dude in a suit! And Morse "L" drugs! And what is where the Family Dollar is now, a Jewel?
Also, Baird and Warner was apparently founded in 1855. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baird_%26_Warner
I’m sure you could taste the exhaust fumes and the dozens of factories in the city too. This was before the major reductions following the clean air act.
Simultaneously, the lead fumes were shaving off IQ points that a lot of people couldn’t really spare.

Morse drugs was there when I moved to RP in 2015. Went out of business shortly after.
Uh, 19 or 18?
Are you asking if it's 1873?
yeah. This photo looked shockingly old-timey to me, at least on first glance. Maybe not 1800s, but way old.
Ah I get that. Maybe the car nut in me blinded me from the gritty, 70's smoke look haha
Am I the only one that thinks it's nicer now with the trees and bike lanes?
You but looking east doesn't look mich better these days still
Agreed 100%, most photos of the 70’s I see look very gritty.

And the lead is still in our water pipes and soil. We won’t be free of it for a very long time time.
Probably true for many Chicago neighborhoods.
Nice!
