Possible newly discovered photo of Wrigley Field area
« on: February 01, 2021, 02:22:57 PM »
In doing some searches, I came across this article with a nice 1950s era photo looking north across Clark towards Wrigley Field. I searched the forums here and did not see a reference to it, so hopefully something new:

I have not seen that photo posted before. Nice find.

It looks like a white '55 Packard Clipper on the left. Streetcar service ended in 1958 so that would place this scene between late '54 when that model of Packard would have come out and 1958.
