It went down Southwest Highway, leveling a bunch of businesses there and hit the huge Oak Lawn high school. Nobody in the high school was hurt or killed, but there were 33 people killed in the Chicago area.Johnny Yenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06561248220244037567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22752109.post-66618009379939527872009-12-09T12:20:09.204-05:002009-12-09T12:20:09.204-05:00I'm rather sorry to have missed what were cert...I'm rather sorry to have missed what were certainly some fine restruants.Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22752109.post-51214055144179094332009-12-09T10:44:46.324-05:002009-12-09T10:44:46.324-05:00I REMEMBER THE IVORY ROOM.
