For anyone who cares.....
I believe this is Downers Grove, IL, the north side of US Rt. 34, just west of Main St.

[b]The first photo, from June 1962, shows the Downers Market Shopping Center, which was located at
the intersection of Ogden Avenue (US 34) and Saratoga Avenue. In addition to the Jewel, the center
featured a Woolworth's and the locally owned E-G Home Center among other stores.
Barely readable at the corner of the Jewel store is an oval “Burny Bros.” sign, a popular Chicago
bakery that had departments in many Jewel stores of the era.
The second and third photos are February 1961 views of Main Street, Downers Grove.
