1960's era Chicago police Department -Female school crossing guard on duty.

I took this photo during an August 2008 visit to Chicago's Navy Pier.

This was part of a display promoting local Chicago area law enforcement through the years. I am not really sure where this photo was taken at, but it looks like it could have been on West Washington Boulevard on the west side of Chicago circa 1966.

Notice that the kind Female school crossing patrol officer, is not wearing the standard neon colored reflective safety vests that We take for granted these days.
They weren't invented yet. They were still several years away, but this image captures the look and feel of Chicago neighborhoods past nonetheless.

It was a much simpler time in the Windy City back then, when local neighborhood residents had a stronger sense of community. I grew up in Chicago back then Myself.

Thanks.
