Red, white, and blue street scene - old buildings in Newman, Illinois. From a 35mm print dated 2004. The red one once housed a picturesque pool hall. It was closed by the time I had discovered it, but I used to peer in through the window. It was so very nicely dated on the interior.

Blue_Bird_BBQ_photo_IL

17 Dec 2008 171
Vintage photograph of the Blue Bird eatery and ice cream parlor, which once stood at the crossroads of Rand Road and Dundee Road, near modern-day Palatine, Barrington, and Arlington Heights, Illinois. The photo is mistakenly identified in the ballpoint inscription added sometime later as dating from the "1920's" - this is clearly not the case as an NRA (or National Recovery Administration) sign can be spotted in the window left of the door. It therefore dates from 1933 or after, which is consistent with some of the other signage. Chicagoans have long utilized Dundee Road to Rand Road en route to vacation destinations like the Chain of Lakes region in Illinois or Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. This is a highly developed area now with the usual glut of suburbia, but in the days prior to World War II, it was chiefly farmland, as can be seen in the background. The Blue Bird surely provided a welcome sight for many a thirsty or hungry traveler.

The Las Vegas-esque Dunes Bowl sign can still beenjoyed in Miller, Indiana, near Gary along old U.S. Route 20, but for how long? The alley has been closed for some time and the property was last seen listed for sale, but will the sign have a future on the property?
