Summary[edit]

Description

This area was a favorite spot for John Wayne Gacy, Jr. to cruise for victims. Pulling up in his black Oldsmobile, he would compliment strangers and offer them marijuana and other enticements to get into his car. Then he would then pummel them or knock them out with chloroform, drive them to his house and rape and murder them.

One such victim was thought to be 14-year old Michael Marino who was last seen outside a hamburger restaurant on Clark St. (left side of this photo). DNA evidence produced in 2012 proved that the body in his coffin was not him after all. He still remains missing.

On Broadway (right side) was Times Square Video Arcade, one of the places Gacy would find victims.

Corner of Diversey Parkway, Broadway Street and Clark Street (looking north).
