Ottawa, Il., November 1992

I visited family in Ottawa late November, 1992. I borrowed my Dad’s camcorder and recorded my tour around Ottawa. The music is Nine Inch Nails. (You might want to mute the sound)
Here’s what is in the video:
Downtown Ottawa
Driving over the bridge to the South Side
Driving South to McKinley Road

Driving through my old neighborhood
The path I walked to McKinley grade school

Wonder how different it actually would be if this drive was recreated today...
A school being built... 3o years later.
The brick side of a building... Painted with a mural.
Times & places change...
Thank you for the trip down memory lane. 💜💚💜

That was awesome. My hometown. 1992 was my Freshman year in high school. At 8:04 we lived on 329 Midwestern av at the time. You were almost behind our house. Loved the old kroger on norris dr. A lot has changed near the mcdonalds. The eagle store and mall was nostalgic. I remember shabbona being torn down after the highway was done. Awesome video. Wow!!!!
