Riding around Oak Lawn this morning, I traveled back in time so completely that I thought my bike would turn into the watermelon green Schwann stingray I got for my first communion in 1967.

Schwinn Stingray. (Auto correct tried to change Schwinn to Schwann. I assume that’s what happened in the original tweet.)

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.
