Some more fake green Chicago street signs on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/CHICAGO-STREET-SIGN-PULASKI-SUPERIOR-YATES-STEWART-ETC-/110727401241?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19c7de0f19 My guess is that they are from the suburbs or somewhere else for streets with the same names as some in Chicago.

Loomis blvd may have been a street under the control of the Chicago Park District. From what I read, they had brown signs with white letters and eventually all the streets were transferred to the city.
