Oak Cliff’s own blues brothers were raised near the park and attended L.V. Stockard Middle School and Kimball High School.

The city is calling a community meeting at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 13, at the Hampton-Illinois Library,  where neighbors can give their input for what they’d like a public monument to look like. After that, they will put out a call for proposals.
