Wow, how the Town of Normal has changed since 1954! If you’re having trouble getting your bearings, the view is to the northeast. “A” indicates the community of Towanda; “B” Illinois State Normal University Farm; “C” ISNU campus; “D” Normal Community High School; “E” Oakdale Elementary School; “F” the u-shaped development off S. Grove St. comprised of David Dr., Daisy Lane, and Julienne Dr.; and “H” Holy Cross Cemetery.What else do you spy in this fabulous mid-century bird’s eye view of Normal?
