Evidence note (master store)
WTTW Chicago's 'Bronzeville, The Black Metropolis' text (republished in full by Preservation Chicago, tier 3) states that the pulsing energy of Bronzeville, on Chicago's South Side, was located at the crowded corners of 35th and State Street and 47th Street and South Parkway Boulevard, where people came to see and be seen, shop, conduct business, dine and dance from the 1920s through the 1950s - establishing the intersection of 35th and State as a historic Bronzeville place.
