The industrial landscape of W. Cermak Road at the edge of Pilsen, Chicago is backlit by the waning autumn light in this Nov. 2 photo. Cermak Road was named after Anton Cermak, a Czech immigrant who was mayor of Chicago from 1931 until he was assassinated in 1933. The bullet that pierced his lung was believed to be meant for President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt with whom Cermak was shaking hands at the time.
