We are facing north at the intersection of West 111th Street and South Pulaski Road, in Chicago's Mount Greenwood neighborhood. I took this photo on a somewhat mild Saturday afternoon, in December of 1986, just a week or so before the annual Christmas Holiday.A southbound CTA Route # 53A Pulaski Road bus is at the end of it's journey, and is turning east on 111th Street, and will soon arrive at the south terminal loop at South Springfield Avenue.
The bus is a 1976 era GMC TDH series bus with what was known as a Fishbowl Windshield. These buses were nicknamed "Fishbowls" by many transit bus enthusiasts. They were retired from the Chicago Transit Authority roster in 1996.
