@Cragin, I don't think that was a former grocery store in the 1960's. There was a National Tea just south of California on Milwaukee which is the new Family Dollar now. By the way, the Cozy Corner, was a gas station in the 60's before becoming a Golden Nugget Pancake House.

I thought the Jewel on Milwaukee Ave. & Ashland was built to replace the Jewel/Osco at Milwaukee and Washtenaw that was built around the mid 1960's. I believe the Osco is gone now and a KFC was built and the Jewel is a Bubbleland!

I thought it was docked north of Chicago Avenue in the river, on the east side as late as 2003. I saw a boat there that was partly sunk. I lost track of it after that.

Does anyone recall the name of the website that has old Chicago photo on it? Not Craig's Lost Chicago but another one with the numbers 404 in the name maybe?

Thanks shekaago. I would guess that the 953 building wasn't the High-Low Foods. The parking lot belong to High-Low though. Also the 953 building was built around 1950 per CityNews. That's all I could find on this!

Here is an ad for High Low Stores from 1952. At the bottom there are 33 address for stores. I can't read it, can you? I wish the print was larger. https://www.facebook.com/HighLowFoodsStoresChicago/photos/pb.1406455086234961.-2207520000.1416343173./1525053597708442/?type=3&theater

There was never a Jack In The Box at Kedzie and Foster. A McDonald's was, and is on the northeast corner. Jack In The Box on Kedzie and Irving Park was open around 1973. I don't remember when they closed and turned into a Duk's.
