My friend Mickey lived in one of the houses on Bloomingdale before we were drafted and went to Nam. After we came back he moved to West Virginia. I always wonder what happened to him. W.T.

I lived on the northside and close enough to Wrigley Field to walk there. Ernie used to come to the ballpark in a nice Cadillac limosine and sometimes sign autographs if he had time. Jack Brickhouse used to show up in a rusty Ford. Back then Ernie,s play was the only thing to look forward to at a Cub game. Ernie had a lot of class, and a true love for the game.

The Jewel on Ashland and Wellington was built on a parking lot that was owned by Appleton Electric. The whole block between Ashland and Paulina and Wellington and Nelson was owned by them. Half of it was a parking lot for their employees and half of it was baseball fields for the neighborhood kids and for the 16 inch softball leagues.

I know its off topic but it is the same area. In the late 60's, 70's, and thru the 80's when I worked at the P&G Chicago Plant, I used to go to a beef stand on North Ave. and Bell . I wonder if anybody knows what happened to it? Thanks
