I first saw this when a man called the Roe Conn Show. He was looking up his childhood home when he found this. The Englewood neighborhood has been plagued by crime, etc. since the late 1800s when it was incorporated into Chicago. Englewood is one of the main characters in “Devil in the White City.” The older kid probably is pointing a real gun. The light shining off the metal is too realistic. What I found interesting is the group of adult people sitting on the porch just north of the scene.

If I was looking for a new home, I’d want to see a street view before I decided to go see it. This allows us to do that. I do think they should block out license plates, etc.

Google Maps back again with the new surprise. I hope what this option will be useful for internet users. Unfortunately I have a slow internet connection to using Google maps conveniently :(

I’ll bet they’re just playing. If you go down the street (south) a bit, you can see the next “scene” is of the younger kid turning around and talking to the “shooter,” then coming back toward him. Probably just kids playing cops and robbers, I’m thinking. ;)
