Urban Renewal and Odgen Avenue Part 2




To the right of Terry's Red Hots you can see how the Brownline tracks interacted with the now vacated Odgen Avenue. Starting from the northeast here, at what would have been the Odgen Vidaucet, Larabee and North Avenues and ending at Chestnut and Odgen, the rest of Odgen was vacated in 1993.



Here we can see sidewalks, part of Odgen avenue Streetlights and even a fire hydrant left behind, next to new townhomes. Thes townhomes are build next to the highrise senior housing seen in the above photo. I took this shot at Clybourn. Interestingly enough, this intersection is still marked as Odgen Avenue as seen in the photo below.




This concludes part 2 of the tour. Stay tuned for part 3 sometime this week, were I'll show you what the northern most point of Odgen Avenue looks like today.
