Welcome to Maywoodl Home of the Proviso East Pirates. Population 26,547 It doesn't consist of the fast moving pace of New York or downtown Chicago, nor does it contain palm trees that can be found on the sandy beaches in Hawaii, but what Maywood does have is an atmosphere that changes like the weather. In fact, it fre- quently appears to change with the seasons, Riding down Madison Avenue, Maywood's Main Street in disguise, in the summer time is like riding in the Rose Bowl Parade, whereas in the winter riding down Madison reminds one of a trip to grandmothers house , says Lisa Courts 0811. UMaywood is a town full of spirit and spunk. The recreational facilities offer innumerable ways for enjoyment. However, l feel the citizens have yet to realize it. In my opinion, Maywoodians should draw closer together instead of pulling apart. Needless to say, this is home , comments Keith Tillman f'8lj. Maywood's recreational facilities and the Little League department give growth and character of mind and well bodies. Such talents of lim Brewer, Theo Shaw, and Glenn Rivers, to name a few, were nurtured through Maywood's baseball programs. Meet The v . .,f, 'N xl ll me A l a ,fe -A gist. - I 'il ,,-,,A...v A , f .

Over the years it has continued to grow in size of teams, however, it has diminished in parent cooperation and participation, commented former graduate of East, Clarence jackson NH! l . National Pride Car Wash is a popular attraction on Madison Avenue. f'65j vice president of Maywood Little League. The Community Center is in many ways similar to Chicago's health clubs. Martial arts lessons, dance classes, sing- ing and theatrical performances are all just a few activities enjoyed by the young and old at the Community Center. The outer beauty of the Com- munity Center seems to flow into the inner souls of the people inside willing to work with each other and make it a lovely place to go. Speaking of beauty, Maywood's new fire department is a beaut. The modern structure clearly demonstrates the town's progressiveness.

Forest Park, The Village With A Smile, has been around for many years. lt still is the small town it once was, but it is going through big changes. The first change occurred when one of the Grain towers on jackson Boulevard went up in flames. Weakening of the framework for the grain towers caused enough problems that part of the town might have had to be evacuated. Two out of the original towers still remain standing. Even though their contracts for the 1981 year continued in negotiations, the Forest Park Fire Department was on the scene in minutes. Also there were reporters for all the television stations.

Still smoldering after burning all night, The Forest Park Grain and Seed Company on Iackson Boulevard is knocked down for safety reasons. Another change for '81 will be the opening of the new mall on Roosevelt Road. There will be 3 major stores, 70 other dif- ferent types of stores, 3 cinemas, and much more. Originally named to be the site for a new Post Office, due to petitions from the people of Forest Park, the mall was selected instead. The new mall may be a new hangout, but the old ones will still be around. The Forest Park McDonalds has been a hang-out for students on their way home from school, and even a few before school earlybirds who want a hot breakfast. On weekends you can always find a friend at McDonalds and sometimes a whole bunch of friends sitting around, exchang- ing the latest gossip. Although times have changed , the town looks dif- ferent, and many people have come and gone, Forest Park is still known to many as home and to others as l'The Village With a Smile.
