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.

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.
