All the wooden aerials and old snorkels, true classic. Love the 1st photo with the two guys hanging on the top of the stick with the low handrails, always thought this must have been a real hell for the victims when they had to step on the ladder some 100ft above the ground with almost nothing around them to hold onto.

I think it is a Dodge sign in on the left side of the photograph is what appears to be a Buick sign. I was thinking that might be Cicero Avenue which at one time he had a large number of automobile dealerships

Would the pic with 3 snorkels be accross the street fdrom the Picwick theatre? Milwaukee Avenue? Is that a Dodge sign to the left and behind the STANDARD sign?
