The phone number is 263-9484. The address on the door is 103rd and State St., so it's likely a bigger city. If you knew the original area codes for Illinois, before the cell phone days and they made up extras, you could narrow the city down to a few choices by googling the number and prefix. 309-263 shows Morton, Ill.
Very cool pic. I love the old round back wreckers.

Ross - I grew up in the St. Louis metro east and that area was 618 from the git-go. And back into the early '70s at minimum the 815, 309, and 217 codes were in use. Those of us south of I-80 take exception when media types refer to us as the Chicago suburbs. We wish Chicago would secede and take its problems and politicians with it. Stu

The people in the western suburbs feel the same, Stu!
Since the picture is from the 50's, I think that back then 312 covered from the WI border above Chicago to as far west as DeKalb, and down to somewhere around Kankakee. (edit -- confirmed on Wiki) I did overstate it when I said "all of IL". Should have said "most of northern IL".
So the question is, were there any other cities in IL back that had 103+ streets, and a State Street? I kind of doubt it. I'm betting that is from Chicago (or whatever suburb is that far south).

Oh thanks Gary. Now "The baddased Man In The Whole Damn Town" is gonna be running
in my head until I download the song and listen to it in it's entirety.
Cuz that's about all I can remember of it. But I do love it.
Being mostly deft I can't listen to what I call external music anymore and
get much out of it. But I always have an internal old song like that playing in
my head. Listening with my minds ear if ya will.

EDIT: But I see your point. He responded to a line from Leroy Brown with a line from Jim.
