Trash Bins Marked “508 School” on Spruce Avenue, East Chicago
Taken December 2023
Spruce Avenue in the Indiana Harbor section of East Chicago, Indiana, is shown as a residential block with curbside parking, a stop sign at the corner, and two trash bins marked “508” and “School.” Indiana Harbor developed as a working-class neighborhood alongside East Chicago’s steel mills and refinery complexes, and its street grid remains closely tied to that industrial landscape.
