The third photo from the top shows the old Immaculata girls H.S. which
is located on the N.W. corner of Irving Park and Marine Drive so we would be looking west on Irving in the photo.
Oh ya, I love the colors of the Blog its easy to read. It does what its supposed to do. Its my favorite place to visit on the web and I am very thankful for all the the work you do here and also the UU.

Second pix from the top
The old Sheridan Road Double Decker Bus
We used to love to ride them and the prime seating was on top above the driver, cost a nickle to ride The Chicago Motor Couch.
Top pix
you can see a tower beyond the Sheridan to the North, this is the steeple top of St Marys of the Lake Catholic Church
