my best memory re. Goose Island was the old Ogden Ave elevated roadway 'overpass'. I think when the city decided to phase it out early '80s Goose Island lost its best landmark
didn't the Seeburg Music Mfg (the old juke-box company) used to be on Goose Island?

I think Seeberg used to be a little east of there, by Halsted, Dayton, and North Avenue, where the Grossinger car dealership is now located.
