The Talman Home bank at W 55th St and South Kedzie Avenue. Chicago Illinois. December 1986.

Hi everyone!
Welcome aboard Eddie's Railfan Page from the city of Chicago Illinois.

I took this photo on a bitterly cold December night way back in 1986. I was experimenting with taking night time time exposures with My 35 MM camera with a buddy of mine. With outside temperatures in the single digits, it was not a very pleasant experience. But the pictures We took turned out great that night.

We are looking north from West 55th Place and South Kedzie Avenue, in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood. A Chicago Police Department patrol car arrived on the scene to answer a malfunctioning alarm call. Once the bank security guard explained to the Chicago Police Officer that everything was actually alright, He quietly left the south parking lot.

An older neighborhood gentlemen walked by our tripods, and asked us
"Did You get a photo of that cop robbing the bank?" Ha ha ha!

A god photo, a good laugh, and a happy memory from the southwest side of Chicago for Me that night.
