Evidence note (master store)

The University of Chicago Chronicle (tier 3, university publication) describes Woodlawn, a predominantly African-American neighborhood south of the Midway, and states that Woodlawn's thriving commercial activity on 63rd Street and Cottage Grove Avenue was rivaled only by State Street in Chicago's Loop, with a once vibrant shopping district on 63rd Street - establishing the 63rd Street and Cottage Grove Avenue corner as Woodlawn's historic commercial corner.
