This Brookline Journal clipping shows
residents of Shawhan Avenue gathering to celebrate the paving of their
street, from Jillson to Aidyl Avenues. Shawhan was one of the last of the
original neighborhood streets
to be improved. The event took place on August 29, 1962, and was attended
by Thomas Lamb
(19th Ward Legislator) and some of the longest residing homeowners, Thomas
Hughes,
Mr. and Mrs. Emanuel Kallas, and Mrs. Minnie Meier.
