1944, Trianon Ballroom, looking north on Cottage Grove. Harry James was at the peak of his popularity. Note the sailor on left; the clubs in Woodlawn around the ballroom were off-limits to servicemen. #woodlawn

Contingent, but another wild south shore pre-war unit trades. 1.4K square feet 2 bed/2 bath for $135K. Overlooking Jackson park. Gotta chuckle at how much you can get for your money in this city sometimes. www.realtor.com/realestatean...
