Teens of the Shadows in Mount Prospect Night Youths
A three part series by Edith Freund examines 10 to 15 year olds who hang around downtown and unlit parks at night in Mount Prospect. The article profiles their milestone years, lack of wheels, social pressures, and need to “colonize” as they inch toward adulthood under supervision by juvenile counselor John Strong. The Creek Freaks group gathers near Weller Creek, trading stories and sneaking smokes while adults express concern over their behavior and future.
