Ah, the 1970s! Dig those cars!

Here's a 70's era "winter time" picture of the Lisle Post Office. (Like I needed to tell YOU that) What's really cool is the old playground that can be seen behind it. It makes me want to go stick my tongue to the swing set's metal poles just one more time! Oh, and that old house that was back there? You know, up on the east hill of the playground? To this day I still say it was haunted! (What was the story with that house anyway?)

Here's a photo of the Post Office building today. It's now architectural offices? Notice the playground hill behind it is now the "new" Lisle fire station.

Here's a 70's era photo of Bank of Lisle. . Do you remember standing in line? Do you remember the "drive-up" window? Their security guard once brought me into the vault to let me check it out! That's a major "score" when your a kid! How did he know I wasn't a terrorist? Would love to see any photos of it before they added on and remodeled.

Here's a 70's era picture of Lisle Savings. It's look hasn't changed much to this day. That old clock is classic and I hope to God they don't tear the face off this place to make it fit in with the "new concept" look that they're going to be giving downtown Lisle.Also, check out Ben Franklin on the right, the old Lisle garbage can on the left... Oh yeah, and the "cool Pinto wagon!"

Here's a 70's shot of the A&P parking lot. I'm not sure if it was still A&P at the time of this photo. You can sorta see the "Somthin' Special" gift store sign on the far right. Prior to A&P, many of you remember this place as the "big peony field" before they built A&P.

I took this photo in July 2004. You can still see the original light post on left. I wonder what happened to that cool "vent thing" that used to sit atop A&P. (Yes, I've looked for it on e-bay!) Also, would someone tell me what the improvement is when you cover old "red brick" with stucco??? Is it a 70's thing? Oh well... Just wondering.
