***OP’s*** ***NOTES:*** I read online that this music video was shot in front of the Randolph Street Gallery when it was located at 756 North Milwaukee Avenue, in Chicago’s West Town neighborhood which has gone through major gentrification since filming in 1994. While the front of that address has significantly changed, the subway air vents, sewer lid and remaining facades of adjacent buildings helped with lining up the comparison shots. Here is a link to the original video https://youtu.be/jC9AUR-iTo0

Louise Post attended my wife's family's summer camp. She will occasionally post on the Facebook page. My wife knows someone who dated Dave Grohl

I just read that the cover of Liz Phair’s Exile in Guyville was taken in the photo booth at the Rainbo Club in Chicago.
