Westbound CTA Route # 62 Archer Avenue bus. Chicago Illinois USA. April 1989.

I took this photo on Archer Avenue, in Chicago's Brighton Park neighborhood. The bus shown here, is an early 1970's GMC transit coach in the "New" CTA color scheme. The GMC coaches that were rehabbed recieved this color scheme, and were already in their final years of service in the city of Chicago. We are looking east on Archer Avenue around west 43rd Street aka Pope John Paul 2nd Drive. Seen in the background to the left, is the now demolished Brighton Theatre. The CTA GMC Fishbowl buses were retired in 1996.
