• La Salle Ave: this island is across the street from a check cashing store with a pair of female mannequins provocatively gesturing towards each other
• Normandie Ave: the second largest island, this is actually a peninsula, and it has the most pedestrian traffic of the islands on Washington Blvd, it also has a bus stop
• S Flower: the street level satellite image of this island appears to show a person on the ground, with another bent over them
