I saw what was probably the same fox Dave saw about a year ago. It was near the railroad tracks where East Franklin crosses I-94 east of the Mississippi.
A few months later I saw a deer on 31st Ave right in the middle of Seward heading for Matthews Park. (I called 911 with hopes that someone could corral it before it got hit by a car. But they don't send anyone out unless the deer is already down because they don't have the manpower to chase a deer around town.) Coons were a nightly sight a few years back across the street from where I live. A big family would crawl out of the sewer at dusk and amble into the woods along the 27th St rail tracks.
