This is the former East High School in Aurora, Illinois where I grew up. My mom attended high school here. I attended it as a Junior High in the mid 70's. It was replaced by a larger school in the 1960's.

Of course, that's how it looked decades before I was born. :D

And I know somebody is going to crack a "Whitefolks Bay" joke. :wink:
