Fulton and Jay streets, in 1972.
Memorable stores that are no more. You could do some serious shopping on this one block, and grab a cup of Choc Full o’ Nuts Coffee and a bite to eat!

Streetcar southbound on Clark Street at Madison Street. In the background is a a mix of Chicago Loop businesses that are now long gone (replaced by a highrise that takes up the whole block):
- The Clark Theater (marquee hidden)
- The Bamboo Inn Chinese restaurant
- The Blue Note jazz club (Erroll Garner is featured on the marquee, dating this to the 1950s)
- Wimpy the glorified hamburger
- and a Borden’s Milk sign (“It’s got to be good”)
