Fascinating! Unbelievable. We lived here until my grandma went to heaven. You killin' me Smalls/Schorpy. It has since been gentrified, but still basically the same.
If I am not mistaken this is the very same Gordon Parks who used to be a LIFE photographer and went on to be the acclaimed director of SHAFT and SUPERFLY. Am I correct?
[Gordon Parks directed Shaft; his son, Gordon Parks, Jr., directed Super Fly. -tterrace]
A little more upscale these days - and only a few block from Ben's Chili Bowl!
The blue/grey one is valued at $750,000.
