How well did you find your way around 1952 Chicago?

We are in the Back of the Yards neighborhood, on 51st Street a few blocks east of Ashland. In 2013 the ribbon commercial strip is mostly gone, with many of the lots vacant. Meanwhile, the city has spruced up the streetscape a bit by planting trees along the sidewalk parkways.

The main clue to the location is the trolley bus.  Only two trolley bus lines ever operated on the South Side—the other was 47th Street. In the distance, the steeple of the former St. Martin Lutheran Church is also visible.
