The 2400 block of North Lincoln Avenue has been retro-fitted to replicate the night in 1934 when John Dillinger was shot outside the Biograph Theatre. The set has been created for the film “Public Enemies” in which Johnny Depp will play Dillinger.
Parking, already at a premium, was impossible to find in the area, so I just took some photos as I drove by. Carpenters who have been working on the set for at least three days, proudly waved and shouted “Cheese!” as I snapped these shots.
It was so cool to see the National Tea. I totally forgot about those stores. That was our local grocery (on Ashland, not the particular one in your photo) and I can clearly picture going shopping with my Mom.
Thanks for the memories!
