“Chicago, 1967″ by James L. Stanfield

I ain’t never heard of a man getting killed when he didn’t get just what was coming to him.

Granada Theatre, Chicago 1927.

This 35mm Kodachrome photograph was taken by William D. Volkmer, who writes: “January 16, 1960. It was about 1 o'clock on a cool, crisp, sunny Saturday afternoon at the Lake Bluff stop of the Chicago, North Shore and Milwaukee interurban railroad. The North Shore was one of America’s very last operating interurbans when I photographed a group of cadets from the nearby Great Lakes Naval Training Center climbing aboard a southbound train for a weekend of fun and relaxation in downtown Chicago. The attentive motorman is keeping an eye on the conductor for the two-bell start signal while at the same time observing what I was doing with my camera.  The once busy line was abandoned three years later, almost to the day.”
