Stores on North State Street at Ontario

 

View to the northeast across North State Street at the intersection with West Ontario Street. A grocery store, liquor store, bar, laundromat, and a diner occupy the single-story buildings along this section of North State Street. A large billboard with a "Think Egghead" advertisement for vodka stands atop their roofs. The 111 East Chestnut Apartments (Elysees Condominiums), John Hancock Center, and Water Tower Place are visible in the upper part of the photograph.
