The girls of Wicker Park VIII - 1959
Taken by Rich with his Leica M2. That water tower in the background was the Dubow factory at Wabansia and Leavitt. They made sporting goods like baseball gloves, basketballs, footballs, etc. Hard to believe that Bucktown was once a major center of operation for two sporting goods firms: Wilson (on Wilmot) and Dubow.
