Too bad Fosco didn't know where it was taken. My guess would be either Thatcher or Schiller park forest preserve since it's close. Awesome pic of an Outfit picnic.
He made a guess yesterday that it was taken at Holiday Park near Waucanda, IL.
Well that sure was a haul in the late 50's early 60's which looks like the timeframe. My grandfather had an acre just south of 176 and it took forever on Rand Rd. and that was in the 70's.
I remember water parks on Bangs lake (i think), Honey Hill and Phils beach. Not sure if I ever was at Holiday. Good memories.
Eric is that where you grew up near Barrington Hills?
It was Sunny Hill Beach in Wauconda and Phil's was next door right? There was also Cook's beach or something like that. I had relatives there and would visit with my cousins.
No I grew up in the city, NW side. Like I said my grandfather had some land and we'd have picnics and I was at those water parks a few times.
Maybe that's why the one dude has the wet pants, I'm assuming he didn't piss himself. LOL
