Jefferson Square Mall, Joliet, Illinois... now gone
Spent the day shooting around Joliet. If you're in the area, spend some time and wander the city - there are lots of great places to shoot, and plenty of unique buildings. The concession stand is now locked up tight. No access to the building, projectors, etc.
ALTON - On June 10, 1924, Illinois Art Extension Committee member Katherine V. Dickinson requested in the Alton Evening Telegraph newspaper that Altonians submit photographs of the area’s native beauty to the “Beauty Spots of Illinois” committee. Dickinson specified that amateurs’ photos were welcome. “There are so many unusually beautiful and picturesque spots in and near Alton that the young photographers should be able to bring one or more of the prizes to Alton.” The purpose of the contest was to create a collection of 100 photographs of the beauty spots to be placed in a permanent collection at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. By this time, the committee had received 2,000 submissions and Cahokia Mounds had already been chosen as one such site, but the committee was still searching for 40 more contenders.The chairperson of the “Beauty Spots of Illinois” committee, Mary E. Aleshire of Plymouth, Ill., noted in an October 1922 Quincy Whig Journal newspaper article that attractive markers would be placed along the highways to mark the beauty spots and that automobile road maps and guides published by Rand, McNally & Co. and the Inter-State Auto Guide Company would mark the spots in their publications. “The appreciation of our citizenry for the beauty of the state will be increased, and the possibility of preserving our native flora realized so that both present and future generations may enjoy the inspiration of our natural heritages,” Aleshire concluded. At the time, only a few Illinois state parks existed (five by 1924), and the focus was more on history than natural beauty.A happy present day note: as of June 2024, there are over 130 Illinois state parks, state recreation areas, state forests, state natural areas, and various nature preserves and historic sites. Several years ago, Outdoor Illinois magazine published a fascinating history of Illinois State Parks that is available here: https://dnr.illinois.gov/content/dam/soi/en/web/dnr/oi/documents/oct08stateparkhistory.pdfSources“Photographs of Alton’s Beauty Spots Wanted.” Alton Evening Telegraph, June 10, 1924.“All Parks.” Illinois Department of Natural Resources.
