the Production of Merlin Engines at a Rolls Royce Factory, 1942
A hint of history on this day of love. 95 years ago today, something happened at one of the most infamous garages in America.
2122 N. Clark Street, Chicago, IL (north side). The SMC Cartage (trucking company) repair garage was where it happened.. Nothing architecturally distinctive about it at all.
There's some grisly stuff out on the internet - recommended one avoid that stuff. Even in B&W, its nasty, and its easy to find, but I still I didn't put any links to it.
The St. Valentine's Day Massacre. Seven guys in the Bugs Moran gang were "tommy-gunned" and "shot-gunned, allegedly by Al Capone's South Side Chicago gang. On Valentine's Day, 1929.
It was other things until torn down in 1967. Nothing there today to mark the infamy, except maybe the fact that this pricey real estate has sat idle nearly 50 years.
ca. 1929
1959
Today
The Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago was and STILL is magnificent.
IF you don't know the story (again, minus the grisly detail0, and if you have 20 minutes to burn, and remaining, century-old urban architecture interests you, the following vid. takes a quick walking tour of the sites relevant to the V-Day events 95 years ago.

The event is the the 1964 launch of the Ford Mustang. Showroom full or Cobras. Might be here already, sorry if so

Ralph Pool Cadillac, ca 1960, Albuquerque, NM. No exact street location found.
Again, sorry if here already. No distinctive architecture, just a neat, vintage shot.
