AnswerThese aren't from the 70's but maybe it'll help: picturingchicago AnswerI grew up in the Brighton Park area. I'm 52 years old and was wondering if there's anyway I can get copies of the pictures from Ronald. When our house was sold the pictures got lost.When I read Ronald's msg about the Crane Clock, Hi-Lo, Gerties, Brighton Park theatre and Niesners Dept store it brought back so many memories for me.
My first job was at "Niesners" in 1969. I was in my last year of high school and on a work/school program. Kelly let me out of school early everyday I worked from 2:00 to closing. I felt very lucky to get that job.
Hi-Lo was the first big grocery store in our neighborhood.
My grandmother always said if you can see the Crane Clock you'll never be lost.
The "Shack" you are really taking me back to some good times.
"Archer Avenue Big Store" we got our school uniforms there. I went to St. Joseph and St. Anne grammer school. Kelly High School.
"Gerties" I had my first ice cream cone
"Davis" school was a grammer school except for the third floor - It was were I went my freshman year of High School,the main building was too crowded.
"McKinley Park" every Sunday, my brothers (I have nine of them no sisters)and I would go swimming at the pool and fishing in the lagoon.
Did you know the fire house right off Archer Avenue was the fire house they used in the movie "Backdraft"?
Would you happen to have a picture of the newspaper stand outside of the bank on Archer Avenue?
I would be willing to pay for copies of anything you have. Reading your e-mail has brought back so many memories.

AnswerHi, I loved reading everyone else's memories of Brighton Park in Chicago and wanted to contribute some of my own. My grandparents lived on Troy Street, off of Archer and Kedzie in Brighton Park. I remember:- Huck Finn Donuts
- White Castles that had tall stools along the windows, but no tables and chairs.
- Archer Avenue Big Store where I got my favorite winter coat as a child and my First Holy Communiion dress.
- Fannie May Candies
- Mom showing me the windows of what used to be Petrie's clothing shop, where she worked as a teenager in the 1950s.
- My grandfather holding my hand as I walked along the black, marble ledges around Fortuna's Funeral Home.
- The small delicatessen store called "Shlizes" (may be spelled wrong) that my grandmother used to take me to. It smelled so great in there! We always bought what we called, "Grandma's Bolonia." You had to peel the skin off each slice.
- Chesdan's Pizza
- Walking through the alley to Brown's Chicken.
- A&P
- Driving to Lindy's Gertie's Ice Cream to pick up hamburgers and French fries. The hamburgers were hot and delicious. The fries where hot, somehow soggy yet crunchy, and perfectly salty, and they kind of stuck to the wax paper bags they were put in.
- Most of all, I remember my grandparents and their perfectly beautiful, 2nd floor, 2-flat house that was built in the 1920s with gorgeous woodwork everywhere and "diamond" doorknobs in all the rooms.

George Wallace was running for the 1972 Democratic primary when he was shot. His shooting is considered a factor in why he did not win the primary, as he could no longer campaign as actively. The incumbent president Nixon would end up facing against George McGovern.
