Chicago's shrinking Maxwell Street Market

 


The picture on the left (click here) is how the market looked in the late 1940s. I was there. 

I was in jr. high school. It was a Sunday, and I need a new pair of shoes. Stores all around Chicago were closed on Sundays, back then, but the Maxwell Street Market was open, so my dad took me there.
