This is the northeast corner of Chicago, where Sheridan Road swings around Calvary Cemetery to continue into Evanston. In 1937 this was a great place for advertisers to get their message across to the traffic coming up Sheridan. Here a giant sign above a gas station is promoting the city’s own Bowman Dairy and the dairy’s radio program.
Today northbound travelers have nothing more than a condo building to attract attention as they head up Sheridan. But the residents of that building do have a nice view down Sheridan.
