RIP actor & Chicago native Ron Dean.

He interrogated Dr. Richard Kimble in THE FUGITIVE, he dropped Andy off at detention in THE BREAKFAST CLUB, he was shot by Harvey Dent in THE DARK KNIGHT, he was Marty Crane's poker buddy on FRASIER, and so much more.

South Chicago Ave and spots adjacent to it along that path had such a wide variety of industries its entire lengh from 67th to 95th. Elston is its closest comparison
