Thanks so much for the info. The best comments that I receive on my blog by far are the ones from people who have been involved in the places that I have been in one way or another. I had known that the Blues Brothers movie was filmed in the place, but it's difficult to tell what exactly was a prop and what was a remnant of the old mall. Thanks for clearing that one thing up and thanks for painting such a cool mural! It really stands out in the drab gray scenery of the current building. Woah! Thanks so much for the info.

The 'colorful mural' was painted by yours truly in August of 1079--part of the interior walls of the fake 'Toys Are Us' store front. I worked at Dixie Mall for the better part of a week, as Stand-by Sign Writer. Because I was a "Chicago painter', I never got credit in the final credits of the film. I was the only woman, for most of three months, working with 53-55 men at a warehouse at 929 W. Adams, which is now a condo. I have a screen capture I did tonight that I would like to send you as a follow-up to your segment. I am an artist/photographer/blogger, now living in Rogers Park. E-mail me at: GrammarGal9@gmail.com. Your work, by the way, is beyond excellent! You were at the Dixie Mall, Blue Island, if I recall.
