Maybe someone moved -- or died -- and left all of this stuff behind. I don't know the story, only that there's a pantload of crap in back of this garage in the alley that runs between Linder and Central avenues in Chicago's Jefferson Park neighborhood.
Some of my neighbors insist that the pile used to be as high as the bottom of the roof. Some of the stuff has been taken away, but whether any there's anything worthwhile left in here is debatable.

Selected ChicagoScope podcasts are digitized using original analog magnetic tape from our faithful Marantz PMD222 monaural and PMD430 stereophonic cassette recorders. Otherwise, content is digitally captured with Marantz PMD660 or PMD620 recorders. During editing, some material is recorded directly into GarageBand on an Apple Macintosh PowerBook equipped with an Applied Research and Technology Tube MP preamp.
Eastman Kodak's 126 cartridge format is still going strong in a project that conscripts vintage Instamatic cameras, flashcubes and Kodacolor II film that's been frozen in suspended animation for more than 30 years.
ChicagoScope does its best to deliver full stereophonic sound whenever possible.
