This group of kids hung out around the Buena Grocery store in the mid-1970s. The crumbling, half-boarded up store was right next to the ‘L’. The young man in the center of this melee was the popular older brother of one of the group. Shortly after I photographed the kids in front of the grocery store, they spotted him just down the street and tried to gang tackle him. The street sign behind them says Buena and Kenmore. Here’s what the same view looks like today in Google Maps street view.
