What goes on down there, anyway?

Hello, Mr. Pinkwater, I have long been a fan of your books, and my son has too, for slightly less long. In particular, we have been re-reading the Snarkout Boys books and Chicago days/Hoboken nights. We may visit Chicago this fall, and I was curious if there were any extant inspirations for those books in that city. Is there a Lower North Aufzoo Street? Thank you, Jack

Daniel replies:

There is a Lower Wacker Drive, which is a better name than the one I made up. It could have had a name change. That happens. Let me know if it's now called Lower Pinkwater Drive.
