I attended Whittier Elementary and TTHS in the 1970's. I had a paper route delivering the Chicago Tribune. I cry every time I go back to Harvey. I loved growing up there
Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I lived in Harvey in the late 40's early 50's. I was about 7 - 10 yrs old. Long time ago...I'm now 79. It's been a good time seeing some of the old places with names I kind of remember. It's also sad what Harvey looked like 20 years ago.
I grew up here from 1986-2000. I lived on 147th and Turlington next to the old Dairy Queen and Bob Watson Chevrolet dealership. Went to Bryant and Thornton of course. Wow this video is amazing. It's cool to see what used to be at the places I remember.
I was born at Ingalls Memorial Hospital in 1955; and my Dad at Ingalls in 1930. My great-grandparents lived on Loomis. We lived off 154th St. near Washington School and left when I was 9, returning off and on over the years. The decline of Harvey is stark. It was a safe, growing, working class community in 1960 with plenty of good jobs in surrounding industries, and a busy downtown area. Our house was small, but we didn't notice. We knew our neighbors. Dixie Square Mall was a golf course then and Mom let me play outside unsupervised without worry, but not to cross the street. The hemispheric merry-go-round at the park near the hospital was the best ever.
My Mother worked at Eastwood Restaurant on a 147th and Wood across from Wyman/Gordon...It was in the early 60's...A lady named Phyllis owned it....She was real nice, she used to give me a free donut or ice cream....

Word was that the wind blew the "V" letter away at some point and a replacement could not be found. It's amazing how many do NOT notice that error. Good eyes!
