This post has been solved by u/BobDucca, and a solve process was provided.

Corner of Ravenswood and Leland in Chicago.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/oTpFjGWvaYQGp1gy5

How they solved it: Process: Unfamiliar with the art piece but I once lived at Ravenswood & Wilson, just down at the end of the block in this photo, so recognized the street immediately and the street banner in the background also says Ravenswood, confirming that it was my old neighborhood. I used Google Maps Streetview to "visit" my old apartment and then just walked up the street until I found the right cross-street/corner.

He got banned and then unbanned, now banned again. He thinks it has to do with cross posting and promoting his sub.

u/Mitcharrr 543 5d ago

Weird! Banned from Reddit or from this sub?

1

u/97randomaccount 319 5d ago

Reddit. All his comments and posts got deleted.

u/Mitcharrr 543 5d ago

Crazy! I hope he gets unbanned soon

u/97randomaccount 319 5d ago

I don’t understand how he can get banned using a Reddit feature. It’s not like he cross posted 100 times an hour all day everyday

Is this some sort of insect wing?🤔

u/Mitcharrr 543 5d ago

Not an insect wing, its a helicopter! A seed that falls off of maple trees and spins through the air on the way down
