In Chicago Suburbs Numbers Rule the Road System
Regional historian Larry McClellan explains how numbered streets extend from Chicago into South Suburbs. The north south system begins at Madison Street in the Loop and continues with 8th Street becoming 205th, 10th as 207th, and so on through Harvey, Steger, and Matteson with variations. TimeFrame is published monthly by The Star in Chicago Heights.
