The first full Block of Mean Streets in one possible configuration. Sbabaro's Funeral Parlor in the foreground.
At the opposite end of the first Block, lower right corner, is the infamous SMC Cartage Co. Garage, site of the "St. Valentine's Day Massacre," also closely modeled on period photos of the now defunct building.
Is that Sam Spade hanging around out front of the Diamond Ace?
Around the corner of the Diamond Ace is the Carlington Hotel, where the three-day-old doughnuts and bed bugs are on the house.
Great view of the city from up here, and better since they took down that shed and put up the sign. ...Oh, watch that first step.
Next door to the Diamond Ace is the SMC Cartage Co. Garage and Lot. Got really loud in there once--even the Carlington's vermin complained.
On the other side of the block, the street side of the SMC Cartage Co. and the Bijou Movie Theater next door.
Someone's waiting for somebody to come out after the movie.
Maybe everybody shoulda stayed home.
Now that's settled, next door is the Gaiety Burlesque Theater.
Hmmm... Looks like more guys hanging around waitin'. Maybe we should move around the corner....
Oh, if you need a paper or a Pulp to read, here's the best spot in town.
Around the corner is the Shoe Shop and Sbabaro's Funeral Home.
Them's the Anastasio's Apartments at the end of the block. (...Can't seem to ditch that guy....)
Round the corner of Anastasio's is the None Finer Diner, Manzarelli's Market, and the back of the Gaiety Theater.
Up the Block past the Gaiety is the Barber Shop, Mama Legano's Italian Restaurant, and the Carlington.
Best Italian food in town and frequent meetin' place of the "Friends of Eye-Talian Opera."
That's Tony Legano's Pigeon cote. He took his first--and last--flyin' lesson there.
Uh Oh! Look's like Rosatto Brothers are going to be late with the beer tonight!
And that brings us back to the Carlington. Hey, if you like the neighborhood, move on in. And bring your FAMILY. If youse knows what I mean....
Here's a look down Lexington Avenue.
Here's the same Street, different angle.
Look's like someone's just made a pick-up back of the Acme Warehouse....
That's "Mighty Whitey" McGee over there. He never shares a Streetcar ride with guys in
trench coats.
He used to work for "Big Jim," and whenever he sees those old Ad's, he gets nostalgic.
"They just put that Asphalt stuff over the old brick streets, but left the Streetcar Tracks alone. Guess the Transit Company got "The Fix" in.
