In the Olden Days

2007_05_shorpy_el.jpg

Chicagoist is a sucker for old photographs of Chicago, so we were pleased to learn of Shorpy, the 100-year-old photo blog, from Palla Palla. This photo "Wabash Avenue El: 1907" was the first to suck us in. From there it was over. So many great photos of Chicago from so long ago. We also especially love "Southside Easter: 1941" and "Pabst Over Chicago: 1943." The photos of Chicago are our favorites, but we love all of them really. Which photos do you like?

Wow, that's a coincidence. I was at a car wash just south of 16th St. on State last week and I saw that exact same 'Southside Easter' picture. Twice in one week, what are the odds?

This is a wonderful picture.
