Mother’s Day 2025: Mother’s Day nostalgia from 1975, featuring local shopping and dining experiences on the Ridge

Happy Mother's Day from the Ridge Historical Society!

Here is some history nostalgia from the Ridge from fifty years ago.

1975 newspaper ads are like a walk down Memory Lane:

Shopping for Mother's Day gifts at Evergreen Plaza or Klein's Department Store in Blue Island. Evergreen Plaza even had a baking contest that year. And of course, you could also eat at the restaurants in the Plaza.

Making your own hand-crafted gift for Mom.

Perhaps dinner at the Beverly House, a popular place on Vincennes for many years. .
