Oak Lawn's rebirth after the 1967 tornado
In April 1967, the village of Oak Lawn experienced one of the most destructive tornados to hit the Chicago metropolitan area, damaging homes and businesses. The aftermath of the tornado led to immediate redevelopment in Oak Lawn, spurring a growth mindset that remains front of mind for many in this community of more than 58,000 people in the Chicagoland suburbs.

The Chamber of Commerce invites new businesses
Downtown Oak Lawn stretches along 95th Street. “In downtown Oak Lawn, there are lots of coffee shops and restaurants that you can walk to,” says Assumpta Ingram, a real estate agent with Real Broker LLC and a longtime Oak Lawn resident. “When you get off the train downtown, you have lots of places to meet up with people after work.” Oak Lawn’s Chamber of Commerce is active in the community, working to bring more local businesses to the area. “The village definitely gets involved with and encouraging all the new businesses,” Ingram says. “More residents are owning businesses in the area, and there’s a good array of things coming to Oak Lawn.” Outside of downtown, pockets of shopping centers and grocery stores sit along Oak Lawn’s major thoroughfares. Off 95th, Oak Lawn Commons offers three grocery options, including a Jewel-Osco. Stony Creek Promenade on the southern side of Oak Lawn features the village’s Mariano’s and big box stores.
