The East 95th Street drawbridge over the Calumet River. Chicago Illinois USA. Saturday, October 15th, 2011.

I took this photograph last October.

Seen here is the East 95th Street drawbridge over the Calumet River, on the far southeast side of Chicago near the state line border at Hammond Indiana.

This bridge is located in the South Chicago neighborhood of the Windy City, and was featured in a spectacular stunt scene in the 1980 movie "The Blues Brothers", wich starred John Belushi and Dan Akroyd.

In the movie, Dan Akroyd jumps the opened dwawbridge in the Blues Mobile car at high speed.
