The last two buildings standing at 61st and Rhodes in Woodlawn with beautiful brickwork. Stores have been closed for years and judging by the bulge in the facade, they are sadly likely to join their neighbors in demolition

This linear park along E 55th Street at Ellis in Hyde Park is slightly elevated above the street because it covers the rubble from demolished 4-story mixed use housing destroyed by University of Chicago led #urbanrenewal

Meanwhile in Chicago we switch from parking-protected bike lanes to bike-protected parking lanes for no reason! They were painted at the same time too!

Chicago's Tower Theater on 63rd Street. Today the site is a parking lot and single-story commercial after it was destroyed in 1957.
