this ‘47 photo is sweet IMO, also shows the CROWN theatre marquee in the background a bit further west on division st, plus reveal streetcar tracks. at first it maybe hard to discern where ashland ave intersects but you’ll figure it out from the trafficlight visible in profile. i myself wonder what was directly across division at that time where the photographer stood, because the milwaukee subway station opening and its entrances in the open(ed) triangle was still 4 years coming then
