How Much Excitement Can You Take!

                              Sometimes it really is the little things, if you can call 1938 little.
                                                                 
                                              Downers was strange before I ever got here.
                                                                           Poker Chips
                                                  I don't know the story behind any of this.

A thing of beauty in 1938 Downers Grove was the Nash automobile, or so I've been told.


After witnessing the Martian landing in their brand new 1938 Nash, Mr. and Mrs. Downers Grove probably drove over to Luke's Grill and Liquor Store for some courage.

They played card games until the Martians were routed by germs and lived happy and full filled lives ever after.

The Lake - Downers Grove

        Is this Prince Pond or is it what is now known as Barth Pond? It sure isn't a lake.
This card left here for Los Angeles, California a century ago. Some how it found it's way back to Downers Grove. Blessing or curse!?
