This was located on the SW corner of 60th & Stony Island. It too survived until sometime between 1972-1988. It remained a prairie until sometime between 1998-2002, at which point the site was converted into a surface parking lot, which remains to this day. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&sour...24.11,,0,-9.18
