Lakeshore and Parklawn/Then and Now

This is the south side Lakeshore just west of Parklawn in the late 1970's.

It's a frame grab from the New Avengers. Several episodes were filmed here in 1977.The Pickin' Chicken Bar-B-Que.

Barbeque is a French word meaning head to tail (beard to tail)

This condo development replaced the Pickin' Chicken.

Looking east towards Parklawn, you can see how undeveloped this stretch was.
