This is a photograph of damages after the 1967 Oak Lawn tornado. The black & white image was taken just west of the intersection of 95th Street and Southwest Highway, probably at the site of Shoot's Tavern and Fisher's Motel. In the foreground is a group of people, backs to the camera, looked at a mangled truck in a field of debris. A line of destroyed trees are silhouetted against the sky. Oak Lawn Community High School can be seen in the far background. |
