I've always been interested in the west Washington Park neighborhood,mentioned extensivly in James T.Farrell's "Studs Lonigan" and his Danny O'Neill pentalogy. Once a thriving middle class working mans area, now a desolate hell hole.

Very cool pics, it's sad to see a neighborhood go like that. There's a old post around here that captain54 put up with a before/after pic on 63rd similar to yours.
BTW I saw your post just now on how to post a pic, here's how you do it so it will show with your post:

what you do is hit the Flickr button (blue/red dot) where you type in your posts. the first time you do it, it will ask if you want to authorize the module to access your flickr account. There is a link, the word "authorize" next to step 1 click the word and it will take you to flickr to sign in. once you sign in it will give you a code, put that code in the box under step 2.

After that when you hit the blue/red button it will bring up you pictures, click the one you want to insert in your message.

It's a copy/paste from different post a few weeks ago that I answered the same question. That way you do not get that "Image error" message.

Thanks, I've been trying to figure this out! BTW, I've found that I can "attach" a pic, but how could I have it show in the post itself?
