Update.
Here are a few more photos by the same photographer, Alexander Gardener. All of the photos were taken at the Washington Navy Yard where the Lincoln assassination conspirators were held.

Ten thousand medical photos by neurosurgeon Harvey Cushing, covering his work from 1900-1933, are being scanned. A sample.

I haven't posted any vintage photos recently. These are my maternal grandparents, photo taken on December 5, 1920.

This photo was submitted by Retriever. She may rummage around a bit to see if she can find another shot, but she reports that most of her family photos are in deep storage, untouched for years. If she's able to dig something else up, I'll post it at a later time.
Retriever also shared a bit of her parents history. Again, I'd encourage any readers willing to share photos and history to do so. Over the course of my career, I've interviewed well over a thousand people from every imaginable walk of life. My career is a good fit, because I never tire of hearing personal stories and family histories.
So without, further ado, here is Retriever in her own words.

1940-ish. My mother's first communion. Quite an outfit... sort of a little wedding dress. My grandmother probably made it.

El station at Sacramento Blvd at Lake Street. IDOT collection. May 4, 1939
This is in the East Garfield Park neighborhood. It had been a working class, white ethnic community, but white flight occurred in the 1950s and 60s after construction of the I290 extension and public housing projects.
The area looks a little different today.
