@dickturnipmarlboro Docs is still there, having moved into the old old town pizza building. It's got new owners now and another one out in Elmhurst, too. The Brass Bowl is now Skrine Chops restaurant. Harans got sold and has another name (Duck Phat...or something) Duffy's is STILL there--EXACTLY the same--and Mike Trant still owns the place. His new baby is college aged now, lol! Xzotics (you mean what used to be Kelly's on Marengo???) has been in trouble with the village for rowdiness, lol!

I worked as a deli clerk at the River Forest Jewel when it was the old building. At the time it was called store "7521." Laurie was pregnant with my son--who is now 20 years old. A few of the employees are still there from the old days. My then manager, Mitch, runs the store over on Archer avenue and 35th. Ironically, my son was a deli clerk over the summer at Roosevelt Road Jewel. I'm still a proud "withdrawn retiree" of Local 881 Meatcutters Division of UFCW. Jewel is a great store!

Yeah, I love that place--prices are a little high, but it's a great place to hang out! Saturday mornings they have a lot of great samples! I've known some of the cashiers for a long time--Tim, the sommelier/wine guy, used to be a barrista at the COffee shop on Oak Park Avenue and the expressway. Alex is a great musician--tall red-headed kid. Love the smoothies and the strong African coffee and espresso blends. Caffeine strong enough to fuel a rocket!!! Thanks for watching the video!

No, not that route. This video starts as I round Oak Park Avenue, turning right (west) onto Lake Street. I usually take Fullerton or Belmont back at night and come down Oak Park Avenue or Harlem. In the day, I do go INBOUND to the lake on North Avenue. Actually, Lake Street isn't such a bad ride in the day. I was a caseworker at Garfield Public Aid (Lake and Pulaski) for five years. One or two of the old guys (60+yrs old) rode their bikes west to Melrose Park/Elmwood Park every day!

I used to live at the big grey house of 655 Washington Boulevard with a huge porch, and I always left the back door unlocked. I would allow my 8 year old son to walk my 3 year old daughter to the library and sometimes to the Lake movie theater for a mataineee. I would give my son $10 dollars in singles and he would take his little sister out. It was safe back then in the 80s and early 90's. When it snowed, be built really cool snowmen, snow forts and had cool snowball battles.

Thanks for watching the video. I haven't put up a bike riding video in a while--too busy with the pole dance thing! Yes, this is a great area to live in and visit. Oaktoberfest is the next big thing, 19/20 Sept. Waco Brothers/Nathan's Zydeco band are Friday/ Saturday night bands. It's free and there's usually some beer tents and good food. I ive in the next suburb over, Forest Park. We don't have as much culture, but we seem to have all the taverns, LOL! Thanks for watching!

Hi,,great video. I used to live at 250 Lake Street opposite Dominics grocery store and worked for Oak Park Chimney Corp on East Avenue..I think its been demolished now and is a playing field. Its many years ago but still remember the place quite well. Was also a regular at some of the bars in Forest Park. Brass Bowl, Doc Ryans, The Ending, Xzotics of course and the mandatory Country club when the bars were shut.. Are they still there now or all changed. Was over in 2000

Wow, that was a real blast from the past! I also grew up in OP. Went to St. Edmund from 1st - 5th grade and then moved to California in the summer of '67. Any of you old Doopers out there remember my old friends, Mike, Tony, Karen or Ruth Martin? They used to live on S. Grove and before that they lived on Kenilworth. I'd love to hear from them again so thanks for pointin' 'em my way if you know 'em. Anybody here even know what a Dooper is anymore? lol

Yep, there's that whole rivalry thing going. I'm a Forest Parker myself--but my 80 year old mom is still at the old OP homestead hanging in there. We love to joke about which town is better--but I honestly love different aspects of each city. No question that FP is more fun for the earthier pursuits like drinkin', smokin', and brawlin'! LOL!--but Oak Park has a nicer refined side that's great, too! Thanks for watching and enjoying the video. --Joel

Welcome to Oak Park! I live over across the border in Forest Park, now. I grew up in Oak Park and my mom, who is in her eighties now, still lives there. I got a little JUMP! when I read your post. When I was in seventh grade at Irving school, there was a girl a year older than me named...Jackie Gallo! She was the smartest kid in the school, very beautiful, and very well liked--haven't seen her since high school (30 years!).

Huskies indeed! I graduated in the class of 1979. I am ashamed to admit that I didn't follow sports all that much. But I think girls volleyball won state that year...Am I right? And Marjorie (Jody) Vincent graduated that year or the year after, before going on to become Miss America. And yes, I passed the Hemingway House about forty seconds before that recording started!! Thanks for your comment!

Yes...OP is actually unrecognizable from 1970...when I moved in as a 6th grader. The omly landmark readily recognizable is the Lake Theatre...and the Marshall Fields Building, now a Borders Book Store--but retaining the classic iron work in some places if you look closely enough. The entire mall is a TIF district (TAX INCREMENT FINANCING) and the pace of development is VERY fast...

Are you rederring to the hobby store that used to be nthe bottom of the 1010 Lake Street tower? They had a hex board type battlefield set-up in the back of the store. That place went out of business a few years ago and was replaced by an interent cafe. Recently, the internet gaming cafe closed also. TImes are really bad in Oak Park's downtown! --Joel

It can get pretty deserted late at night. Usually, in the summer, the Lake theater lets out its last movie at about midnight. After that it's pretty dead. THere is only one "Bar" type place on the mall, the chain restaurant Bar Louie--and I think it stops serving at midnight or 1AM on weekends. Thanks for watching my video! --Joel

Yes, both Unity Temple and the Post Office are lit up very brightly some nights and there is an eerie, yellow glow. Another interesting difference is the wild-life. Deer and rabbits are frequently seen running about. Last night I saw a deer running by the front door of Panera's! Thanks for watching!

I know the street well. In college I worked at Stevenson rec center, near Cuyler and Lake street--where the Dominicks is right now. I grew up in the 100 block of south Lyman and went to Irving School the last years it was still a K-8 school. Irving school is on Cuyler also. Oak PArk is a great town!

No, North Avenue is parallel to Lake street, but about 12 blocks north of it. In fact, I had ridden on North Avenue out from Downtown Chicago, then turned South (i.e., LEFT) onto Oak Park Avenue, then WEST (i.e., RIGHT) onto Lake Street. This video begins around the time I turned onto Lake Street.

It is very strange! In the summer it is possible, on rare occaisons, to see deer, rabbits, and possums on Lake Street. Last summer I filmed a Deer on Madison street in front of one of the bars in Forest Park--but the lighting was so poor it didn't survive the upload to You-Tube!

That's understandable...I wanted to traveland go diffeent places at that age, too. However, I guess I have not had the courage to make such a big change in my life. In my 20's I really wanted to move to French Canada...now I can't even stand the Chicago winters!

Sounds like a great project. I know a journalism professor who uses FLIP's with er students to practice giving interviews. Goo luck with your project and I hope you will post the final result. Send me a PM if you do, so I can watch the final cut! Joel

It's still a great place to live--we are just across the border in Forest Park and we have friends in both towns. We regularly go to restaurants on Lake Street and other OP events. My wife student taught at OPRF many many years ago! /Joel Lessing

Man, even after almost 10 years of living in California, I still really miss Oak Park. I spent the first 9 years of my life in this place, and parting ways was pretty tough for me.

Born & raised in Oak Park. Keep your door locked and your bicycles and snowblower chained. Never leave your garage door open. Don't believe me read the Oak Leaves police reports

I love the tour via photos. I haven't yet made it to the Oak Park Art League. I'm moving to Oak Park this summer when I get married to my Oak Park resident fiancee. :) Say, and a side question, I like how you showed the newly renovated bathroom. Are there plans to hang any art in the bathroom? Silly question, but it looked like there was no art hanging up inside.
