"Sleepy Hollow"
What an arresting photograph - a homeless squatter on Chicago's Northerly Island, in 1930. While the site (later to become the Meigs Field lakefront airport) would have given squatters plenty of isolation, it also must have been extremely windy, and forbiddingly cold during winter. Yet this gentleman still saw it as home, going so far as to blithely dub it "Sleepy Hollow."
