  Strange sense of deja vu, seeing this picture. Like someplace from a dream. I wonder if any of these people are still dead.

  Hi, I'm an admin for a group called billboards, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

• Instinctive Jar said:

  i agree with geekem, the view is facing east, looks like those houses are still there in fact, compare the roofs.

• Rudy Evans said:

  I look at this photo and it reminds me of OUR TOWN where the actors sit there portraying the dead-- here is seems like the deceased are sitting there watching life go by. "Hey Bert, isn't that Ralph Jones driving this way? I always thought he drove Plymouths."

  I don't know why people complain about advertising in ballparks ruining everything...back in the day that's how it always was.

  Superior graphic design.

  Well, the fences were wooden, easy to paint and paint over. But, it would absolutely ruin the brick and ivy of Wrigley Field. Those stupid advertising signs behind home plate are enough.

  By the 1040's the grandstands were a more solid steel and concrete structure!
