The East 95th Street drawbridge over the Calumet River rising. Chicago Illinois USA. Saturday, October 15th, 2011.

I took this photo during a recent photo outing to the far southeast side of Chicago Illinois.

Seen here is the East 95th Street drawbridge over the Calumet River, rising to let a sail boat pass through the channel.

This bridge, was used for a spectacular stunt scene in the 1980 motion picture "The Blues Brothers", wich had stared John Belushi and Dan Akroyd. At this location in the movie, the Blues Mobile ( A used 1970's era Police car from Mount Prospect Illinois, jumps the open draw bridge. Wow!
