And here is the text of the first thread:

While stripping the interior out of my wife's '72 GTO a couple of years back, I found a map from 1969 buried under the seats, it's pretty interesting to see the differences. Here's the map scanned, the basic residential areas overlayed on a 2010 map, and the scanned map file if you want to peruse the map (just right click saving the JPG doesn't keep the street names very clear)

Population 1969: 370,000
Population 2010: 988,000

His population for 2010 seems a little low, no?

Thats pretty cool to look at. Anyone notice the runways at Lincoln Park? I didnt realize they were still there that late in the day. I thought they were kind of gone shortly after the war. Also old McCall Field's runways...completely different alignment. Looks like they just blew it all up and redid the whole thing back in the 70's. I wonder how the airport operated while they redid it all. Anyone here old enough to remember?
