I took this photo on location at the intersection of South Archer Avenue and Pulaski Road in Chicago's Archer Heights neighborhood, way back in May of 1986.
The Chicago Transit Authority was still using the 1970's era GMC TDH series fishbowl windshield transit buses back in 1986, and the CTA Route # 62 Archer / Harlem Avenue line as well as the Route # 62 Archer / Cicero Avenue line was one of their many regular routes that they were assigned to.
A westbound CTA GMC bus, is viewed waiting for the traffic light to change at the northeast corner of South Archer Avenue and Pulaski Road on a sunny Springtime afternoon in May of 1986.
A popular dining place for local residents and CTA rush hour bus comuters, was the original 24 Hour Mount Pindo's Restaurant and Coffee Shop. It was a popular neighborhood establishment. The original Mount Pindo's building shown here, was on borrowed time, as the "New" / Current Mount Pindo's Restaurant building was under construction in the background. The original circular Mount Pindo's building was demolished not long after I took this photo.
