Johnny Depp–watch powers, activate! Looks like the block of Lincoln near the Biograph is being prepped for Public Enemies, the John Dillinger biopic.

I hope Johnny likes Qdoba.
Haha, I hope he decides to check out Allende at approximately 3AM.
The facades are extremely accurate - probably more than the Biograph's own restoration. It's really too bad they weren't built to be permanent, because they look much better than the current facades. Ironically enough, the building immediately south of the Biograph IS the same building that was there, it just has suffered a lot of remuddling, which led to it being called one of Chicago's ugliest buildings not long ago.

Agreed. It would be great to leave those buildings with the retro look. Sigh.
