A typical street scene in Chicago’s old Ceska Kalifornie neighborhood, now known as Little Village. Here, this circa 1917 image from my collection features J. Klepsa as he stands in front of his cigar shop located at 3823 W. 26th St. The cigar shop used to be a gathering place for men to converse, and share neighborhood happenings and gossip.
