In the top photo... Elston Ave is on the West side, the North Branch of the Chicago River on the East. Not too far to the West is I-90 I-94. Between the Interstate, and Elston, is now UP, former C&NW tracks. Looks like barge traffic in the upper RH corner. Elston ends at Milwaukee Ave, right at the 800 block ( it ends at the 6100 block, also at Milwaukee Ave ).
At the 300 block, the river heads east to the locks on Lake Michigan, and, the South branch starts, heading South, and then Southwest on the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
