I worked at LCH a long, long time ago....and it was OLD at that time!!!!! Remember when there were still Personell Departments? I always thought we could make a horror movie there.

Archer Ave Big Store had a painting contest on their windows (I think for Easter). My sister won the contest and she won a rabbit. We kept it in the basement for a few days and it pooped everywhere. We begged my parents not to get rid of it. They gave it to my uncle and we were pretty sure he cooked it!

The Palos toboggan run did not charge to go down but had rentals if you needed one. We went there on nights and had a grand time....no matter how cold it was. Funny, I never heard of anyone getting hurt in those days.

I used to go to Starks on 59th and Harlem all the time. I should have kept the army helmet! I remember a bin of DDT bombs that we would turn on and then run out of the store. After Starks was torn down, a high rise was erected...but just the frame. It stood on the site for years with no further development.

There was a Dog n Suds in Bridgeview on Roberts Road. One of my relatives developed, built, and operated it for several years. There was a drug store next door where I bought boxes of baseball cards!
