quick note on bibliography
I’ve posted my in-progress annotated bibliography of the Chicago Flag. There’s a lot of things I need to add, but it’s relatively complete, at least as far as the timeline of events goes.

Good, Better, Best
[In the Chicago Daily Tribune, Apr 4, 1939. p. 12]
Good, Better, Best Streets
Consider Good street, Better street, and Best avenue. The first two ran east from Aberdeen street one and two blocks respectively south of Polk street. They were only a block long. The first was rechristened Hope street in 1935 and is now known as Cabrini street. Best avenue [named Wilton avenue in 1937] is two blocks long running south from Diversey next east of the elevated railroad.
Walter B. Smith
It looks like Better street is now known as Arthington street.
