Vintage views of Chicago and the movie "Goldstein" (1963-1964)...Trying to nail a location after viewing the film today.
Man is pushing another man in a wheelchair up (after racking my brain) what I believe is the Ogden Ave overpass at Evergreen. It seems they approach the overpass coming east on Evergreen from Halsted. The "American Roller Co." sign is evident in the distance, which was @ 1342 N Halsted, in 1963.

Here is a view of the current Ogden/Evergreen...the only thing that survives in this view from the 63' "Goldstein" screen shot is the old American Roller Co building @ Evergreen and Halsted.

Thanks for the up to date photo, It's amazing how its change so much. My main memory of the Ogden overpass was back the early 80's, we were heading northeast from California Ave when we got to the south end of the overpass my dad said "roll-'em up" We could see Cabrini-Green in the distance. It looks like Evergreen went from a busy to a quiet residential street.

I think Evergreen was always more or less a residential street, it's Ogden that changed from being a main thoroughfare to a quiet residential street.
I have a few more screenshots from the move "Goldstein".. Its fascinating..(to me at least)...being an indie film and having no budget, they went into the neighborhoods and out-of-the-way places to film.
