Early Springtime opening day preparations. The Glenview Dairy Bar. Glenview Illinois USA. March 2008.

Early Springtime building preparations at the Glenview Dairy Bar. Glenview Illinois. March 2008.

Hi everyone!
welcome aboard Eddie's Railfan Page.
Well folks....after a lenghty period of bitter cold, short days, ice and heavy lake effect snow accumulations...Springtime is finally arriving in the Greater Chicagoland Area. I took this photo last year in March of 2008, in north suburban Glenview Illinois. The Glenview Dairy Bar, is a seasonal roadside soft serve ice cream stand, located just north of the intersection at Harlem Avenue and Glenview Road. Winter was winding down, and these contractors are viewed making structural and cosmetic improvements to the Glenview Dairy Bar a few weeks before the opening of the season. The building is recieving metal structural support beams for a new canvas awning, replacing an old faded metal one from decades ago.

This view of Springtime preparations, really captures the spirit of the early Springtime season in the Greater Chicagoland Area. It was chilly outside when I took this photo, but soon soft serve ice cream would be available here again soon.
