The "Lincoln Park Savings Bank" of Roscoe Village is on the west side of Damen avenue north of Belmont.I am not an architect but this is probably the most ghastly building I have ever seen. It is a newly built (the last few years) bank building with this insane metal girder roof with electric blue lighting. The building looks like a bad disco in 1980's Berlin.
I have trouble believing that this type of lighting and building corresponds with any building code on this side of the planet. Perhaps the crack Chicago building inspection team was asleep on the switch the day these plans floated by.

Arrrrg We lived in Roscoe village. I watched da Bears whomp the Patriots in '85 in a Roscoe Village pub.
Right around the corner from there was the bar where my wife and I first met in 1977. Three doors down from there was Johnson's pool hall, a favorite hangout. (I was just doing post-graduate physics studying elastic collisions.)
It's all Jane byrn's fault. Once she put up the plaque on the corner, it attracted all the yuppies to what once was a nice area, populated by ex Riverview carneys.
Before we shoot all the lawyers, first we got to shoot all the architects.
