It was another night of slim pickings as snow was falling, dusting even the sidewalks that had been cleared, except the scant few that had been salted. (Bless those folks.) This one is on the east side of North Fairview Avenue between Michigan and Jerome, next to the parking lot for the Arcadia Smokehouse.

This is a nicely crisp J.A. Johnson stamp. The date is less clear, but with a flashlight and a few angles I figured out that it is 1968. I haven’t learned anything about J.A. Johnson, unfortunately, despite seeing their stamps scattered around the east side. I do always mull over the unlikely possibility that J.A. was a relative of the Jim Johnson I used to play in a local pinball league with.
