yeah, maybe the "standard" goes up to 37.5' in the outter bungalow belt. i was just ballparking by pulling distances off of google maps (far from an exact measure) in places like edison park, berwyn, clearing, and mt. greenwood.

Anyway, I took my kids over to a neighborhood playground the other day and loved how the low angle november setting sun was illuminating this row of classic Chicago "missing middle" housing.

WARNING: there are small yards in front of the building pictured below, so some of our more sensitive viewers might be offended and "hate it".
