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.

Growing Up In Broadview Growing up in Broadview - during the scorching summer months it brings back memories of swimming at the pool, playing ball at the park, waiting in anticipation of the Good Humor man to make his daily run, going to the Ben Franklin to buy a pocketful of candy, just spending most of our time playing with friends from morning to night, Dur- ing winter it was the same thing - play- ing with friends, but now taking our sleds to llSuicide Hill, building snow forts, or learning to ice skate on the frozen-over baseball fields. While in grade school there were the usual grade school rivalries - who had the best gym, the nicest school, the best team or anything else we could think of at the time. Not much has changed since then. Although now many high school students think Broadview is dull. When we were younger, there was always something to do. Now there is nothing to do unless you're younger than 13 or older than 30. Anything in between is an outcast, So what I resort to doing is go- ing into other towns to find so-called ex- citement. Forest Park, Melrose Park and Northriverside just to name a few. But when I go to visit friends in these other towns, all they have to say is, l'Oh c'mon let's not stick around here. This town is boring. Let's go over by where you live, c'mon let's go to Broadview. - -'B Q ' J The Broadview Park District facility offers a complete recreational program, catering to all ages and a ed for all seaso s ger n.
