So I was looking for skunk gifs for my webpage and I discovered that my hometown Chicago’s name came from a loose translation from the Ojibwe language meaning “on the skunk”.
So that’s a thing…

low-angle photograph of the granite Agriculture statue in the Chicago Board of Trade plaza. The classical female figure, dressed in draped robes, gazes forward with a calm expression while a pigeon sits perched atop her carved stone hair
Random Photo of the Day
She survived demolition, a mysterious disappearance, and decades in a suburban forest preserve. A pigeon on her head? No problem

Antique business card of Mrs. A. Beccavin, Lace Curtain Laundry. It is dark ochre/ orange with an illustration of a window with curtains. It lists prices for her services starting at 30 cents for a plain pair.
I found this business card several years ago. It's a favorite. I've wondered about this woman and her laundry enterprise.
Chicago's Rogers Park/ West Ridge Historical Soc. website shows that a Anna Beccavin lived on that street in 1919.
