Grandpa never drove, so everywhere he went was either on foot or on his Cadillac (what he called his bikes). I also remember walking to St. Peter's Lutheran Church for Sunday School and church services, especially for Christmas Eve services (more about our Christmas traditions closer to Christmas).
It's amazing what you can stumble across on the internet. I stumbled across the Forest Park Historical Society website. Although I never really lived in Forest Park, I felt I knew Forest Park better than any other place. It must have been from the many trips around Forest Park with my Grandpa (Edward Stange). As a young child, we loved walking up to Madison with Grandpa to get fresh bread from the bakery, to the bank, or to Des Plaines to Calcagano's (I'm sure I'm misspelling this). Boy did we ever love our walks with Grandpa!
