The city is installing some kind of street dividers along Western Avenue, through the Beverly and Morgan Park communities.
The street is all torn up, and several people mentioned they saw old train tracks under those layers of cement.
Streetcars did once travel up and down Western Avenue. Here's a favorite photo of one from the RHS collection. The corner is 95th and Western, facing northeast. The photo was taken from the corner where Evergreen Plaza stands. The streetcar is traveling south down Western Avenue.
1930s? I have to find the date of the photo. Notice the price of gas – 98 cents for six gallons. Prices were going up – it used to be 10 cents per gallon!
Some "context clues" about determining the age of the photo: given the looks of the cars and the women's clothes, it's likely the 1930s. There is a big ad for Florsheim shoes. They started making women's shoes in the 1930s.
EDITED: The photo is from 1935.
