I took this photo on a sunny and somewhat mild December afternoon in the year of 1986. I didn't own My first car yet, and have happy memorys of visiting Chicago's Mount Greenwood neighborhood via the Chicago Transit Authority bus lines. I mostly took the Route # 52A South Kedzie Avenue line, but occasionally rode the Route # 53A South Pulaski Route as well. Shown here, is a 1970's era CTA GMC Fishbowl windshield TDH series "New Look" transit bus. These were the standard day to day buses in use by the CTA during this period of time. They were officially retired in 1996. The bus is in the left turning lane on South Pulaski Road, and will soon turn left and head to the South Terminal at West 111th Street and South Springfield Avenue.
