Evergreen Park, IL

So there's a sticker on my Grey Ghost that says it was sold from a bike shop called 'Park Bike Shop, Evergreen, IL'. I tried finding a website for the shop to see if it was still there. I couldn't find anything. Then I got on Google Maps and did the street view thing since the address was on the sticker. Lo and behold, there is still a Schwinn Shop at that location! At least there is still a Schwinn sign hanging out front. I think someday I may take a trip and bring the Grey Ghost with me. A picture of the bike outside the shop it was originally sold at would be awesome.


Also picked up another rare bike project. 1971 Manta Ray. The Manta Ray was a bigger version of the popular Sting Ray bike, but wasn't very popular itself. They only made them in 1971 and 1972.
