Illinois Officials Mute R. Kelly, Deny Permit for Upcoming Concert

Palatine, Illinois, circa 1950. "Schoolchildren at Hirsch's." 4x5 acetate negative from the Shorpy News Photo Archive. View full size.

One of the things I find intriguing about this site is the “view full size” option. You take a group photo like you see at top - look at in detail, and you get a a hundred little stories.

I cut it into three details: the kid with no shirt in the first one, the girl pulling down her lower lip in the second, and the girl with the intense side-eye in the last one. Look closer and there are a hundred more little stories and questions.
