Genesee & Clayton Streets; Waukegan, IL

Across Genesee from the theatre once-stood the Academy Theatre, a popular venue for Jack Benny, which sadly burned to the ground in 2004. It's since been replaced with mostly-vacant retail space (visible on the left)

 

Similar view, circa 1982, shows the Genesee near the end of its original run as a movie house:
