In yesterday's Blog I recounted my trip back in time to Henri Matisse's studio in Vence, France in the year 1948. In June of that same year, somebody snapped the above photograph on 111th Street in the South Side Chicago neighborhood of Beverly, just a few miles from Brainerd, the neighborhood where I grew up. A few years ago I went back to Chicago and walked down this very street. The neighborhood is still as wonderful as ever and the business district is still thriving. This photograph, by the way, is from the 2007 Chicago Transit Authority Historical Calendar. The CTA produces an historical calendar each year that you can download to your computer or print out and put on your wall. Be sure to check out this year's version at http://www.transitchicago.com/about/historicalcalendar.aspx.
