Flickr finds: Chicago and the CTA of the 1960s

by Joseph Askins on 4/1/09

CTA at Fullerton and Ashland

Adrian Holovaty of EveryBlock points the followers of his Twitter feed to davidwilson1949’s Flickr sets of Chicago transit photos and city pics shot mostly between 1966 and 1970. Those of you who’ve been discussing the status of the Lincoln Park Lofts might recognize the intersection above. (For those of who who don’t, it’s Fullerton and Ashland.) And would you recognize the intersection of Chicago Avenue and Orleans Street (below) these days, or the Loop as seen from Wacker Drive and Congress Street (at far bottom)?

Some great photos, including some of the old Grand Central which used to be across the street from me. Awesome!
