On the SW side, Between Kedzie & Cicero. There was a huge sign for "Kentile Floors", When passing through SW on the Stevenson expy. I know the factory & outfit is no longer in use, But the sign STILL exists. Where was this factory located?.

Was the supposed bar on the corner, Or in the middle of the street?.

Thank you, That was very helpful.

Much of the area had changed from 25 years ago, When it was still considered a fairly stable area. It may not be entirely bad, But many of the changes are unpleasing. Such as the absence of the Brighton Theatre, Archer Ave Big Store, Gertie's Candies, Brighton Park Art & Hobby Shop, et al.

Yes, I live in the Chicagoland area.

Well more less of an old-style or old-fashioned.

Where was that factory?. On W.Schiller?. Because I remember a red neon sign above the building.
Forum: General Discussion

Did the store have a bargain basement or basement with sales?.
Forum: General Discussion

Well, In this case. As opposed to the newfangled KFC/Pizza Hut-Taco Bell or Dunkin' Donuts/Baskin-Robbins-type dual franchises. These were separate buildings. But around Sept.1972, I remember some more obscure out of the way Kentucky Fried Chicken and A&W Root Beer Stand, Either in the SW suburbs or SW side, Possibly W.Columbus Av???????????. Burbank????????. Oak Lawn??????????.

It's probably in Chicago. Probably somewhere on the South Side?????. It isn't W.Madison in Oak Park. Maybe the South Shore area????, Maybe S.Ashland?????.

Right in back of the E.79th st Sears store, At E.78th st. There's some factory with a 1950's-60's revolving clock in front of the place, Which actually makes the place more distinctive. Everytime I pass the Chicago Skyway going South, I usually see this place. What is that place?, If anybody knows?.

In 1972, Either in the SW suburbs of Chicago or on the SW side of Chicago. A Kentucky Fried Chicken place & An A&W Root Beer Stand existed near each other, But NOT in the same building. Where were these exactly?.

And not the place that's the clothes shop now. It's a residential place, But still has some dark asphalt or tiling above the front.

It DOES look like it was at the SE corner of Pulaski & 55th. I checked the 1972 HistoricAerials.com map of it.
Forum: General Discussion

No, 48th & Wood NE Corner.
Forum: General Discussion

Yes.

There was some sporting goods store on W.Van Buren which supposedly had a fire, What was the name of that place?.

There was also a barber shop on Komensky just north of 31st, An auto parts store south of 26th on Christiana. Anybody know what the names of the places were?.

The Sunoco station at Lawndale & 27th was also a Standard at one time, If I can recall. There was also an Arco (maybe Sinclair earlier) at Lawndale & 30th in 1976.
Forum: General Discussion

I know one existed as late as 1976, Where was this one exactly?.

There was one at 22nd & Harlem in North Riverside, When did that one close?.

According to some 1967 photo, Just west of LaRoc's Drive-In on Grand was a 3-4 story building with an appliance or gas heater dealer. What was exactly there ? & Why was it demolished?.
Forum: Questions and Answers (Q&A)

I remember that place too. It was a banquet hall/ballroom.
Forum: Questions and Answers (Q&A)

I remember as late as 1972, A very old-line drug store, With fountain service existed at the NE corner of Grand & Halsted. I wonder how come they tore that building down?. It was a classic place. I think it disappeared in the early-mid 1970's.
Forum: Questions and Answers (Q&A)

Apparently in a 1964 photo the place still existed on the NE corner of Halsted & Roosevelt. What year, If anybody knows did that place close down & get demolished?.
Forum: Questions and Answers (Q&A)

But anyway, I took another look. And apparently I must have gotten some things wrong. But was the large sign on the SE corner or was it atop the building?.
Forum: General Discussion

There was one, Until I guess about a year ago at the old Sak's Ukrainian Village at 2301 W.Chicago. But I guess when another restaurant/lounge took over, That may have disappeared as well.
Forum: General Discussion

How big was that place?, And how big was the sign?.
Forum: General Discussion

Actually it was on the 1700 block, At 1714 or 1716. According to the Cook County Assessor photo.
