The Downers Grove Motel

The Downers Grove Motel according to the information on the back of this card was 2 miles west of Rt. 83 on Ogden avenue. Where exactly it stood I don't know. If you have any information about what is standing in it's place now, please comment.

Diesels in Downers

I recently came across the copied photo on eBay. Normally I only accept originals in my collection but I realized that the original of this photo might never come my way. The Burlington Rail Road appears to be promoting diesel power in Downers Grove. I'm not sure how the LaSalle fits into the picture. I imagine the other vehicles are all General Motors. If you have any knowledge of this 1930's happening please comment.
