This sign was fairly new about the time I moved to Lawndale in 2007 - an advertisment for a soon-to-be-built condo development. The Lawndale neighborhood seemed ripe and ready for new construction back then before the housing market crashed and recession hit. Lawndale is directly west of downtown, and close to shopping areas in the near suburbs of Cicero, Berwyn, and North Riverside. Suggested sales prices were posted ranging from $230,000 - 300,000.
Now this billboard serves as a space for other local advertisers: cab drivers and plumbers, and as a reminder of Lawndale's once shining promise of growth and development.
