Much of the downtown has changed a great deal. and the housing on the far north side has gotten the teardown treatment, but I think my old Brynhaven neighborhood near the Ike interchange is mostly going to be about the same. Not unlike the pics in the top row.
My main recall of Oak Lawn is the "Oak Lawn Jazz Festival" at the high school there in the 70s.
