You'll spot the penguins on a boards over two different vacant storefronts on Broadway just south of Roscoe Street. A lone penguin was spotted on a board over a dry cleaners now being remodeled at Sheffield and Oakdale avenues, and another across from the Trader Joe's at Diversey Parkway and Orchard Street.
On the side of the building that used to house the now-out-of-business Durkin's Tavern, 810 W. Diversey Pkwy., there are five penguins. One is standing still with a gold bowtie, and four more walking in lockstep. The penguins on the Durkin's building do not have eyes, though some of the others do.
