No addresses in the city go 8915 north and it doesn’t quite fit the style of some stuff on the far northwest side that go far enough west to have that 8915 number.
I dunno.
Ah, Photoshop. Look carefully at the light pole and you’ll see where an address was Photoshopped out.
Many things are possible with Photoshop, especially when pirate-proofing is required.
The light pole is the big clue here. The poles (not an ethnic reference) are not found citywide.
I noticed the light pole and the other numbers seem to have missing mortar joints.
Oh well.
Chicago Lawn?
Calumet Heights.
Dunning.
Mike has it – it’s 89th & Blackstone in Calumet Heights.
