City - Chicago - They walked by night 1949 Postcard
Colorized photo from 1949 Original title: City of Contrasts Photographer: Stanley Kubrick Location: 197 N State St, Chicago, IL Life was certainly lively back in the day. Movies on one side, Broadway plays on the other. Taxi's all over the place. Even in the rain people would come to see what's going on at night. And you knew whatever they were playing, it was safe. Today this scene looks half the same, the Chicago theater on the left is still there and in operation. State Lake, was gutted in the 1980's, the building is the same but the inside is different. Quite a few theaters are gone from this street, from this vantage anyway. There was also a bus station just around the other block, some of those buses are probably on there way now.
