I DO REMEMBER THE RECORD STORE ON PULASKI ROAD THAT YOU COULD GO AND LISTEN TO THE 45’S TO SEE IF YOU REALLY WANTED TO BUY THEM. MY SISTER AND I USED TO GO THERE ON SATURDAY AND LISTEN TO THE 45’S, I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT WAS SO COOL. BUT THERE WAS SEEMED TO BE THOSE KIDS THAT WOULD HOG THE RECORD BOOTHS FOR WHAT SEEMED LIKE HOURS. I DO REMEMBER THE WISHNICKS ON ST. LOUIS & NORTH AVENUE. I ALSO DO REMEMBER THE GUY’S PIZZA PLACE. I ALWAYS LOVED TO TRY AND GET THAT STRIKE ON THE RED PIN BOWLING, BUT SOMETIMES I DID SOMETIMES I DIDN’T, I USED TO SET THE PINS AT THAT BOWLING ALLEY WHEN I WAS IN GRADE SCHOOL, WAS FUN AND GOT SOME FREE BOWLING OUT OF IT. GLAD TO HEAR FROM THOSE THAT GREW UP IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD. I GRADUATED FROM BVM IN 1965 AND WENT TO MADONNA HIGH SCHOOL. WORKED AT THE RECTORY AT BVM FROM THE 6TH GRADE TO THE 8TH GRADE, THAT WAS A BLAST. HOPE TO HEAR FROM MORE FOLKS.
I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. WENT TO MATERNITY B.V.M. SCHOOL, REMEMBER THE FIRE AT OUR LADY OF THE ANGELS GRADE SCHOOL, I WAS IN THE SECOND GRADE, ALSO, REMEMBER THE HELENE CURTIS EXPLOSION, THE FIRE AT WOOLWORTH’S, EATING AT FERNDELL’S WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY. MANY MEMORIES OF THE TIFFIN THEATER, ALLOWANCE OF FORTY CENTS AND GOING TO THE MOVIES FOR 25 CENTS, AND HAVING 15 CENTS FOR POPCORN AND CANDY. SEEING THE DAVE CLARK FIVE THERE. WATCHING MANY GREAT MOVIES THERE. ALSO, REMEMBER WISHNIK’S, THE LIBRARY ON PULASKI, GOING TO JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT MEETINGS ABOVE THE WOOLWORTH’S, THE BOWLING ALLEY ON PULASKI THAT WAS UPSTAIRS, PIONEER BANK WHERE MY GRANDFATHER HAD HIS ACCOUNTS AND LATER MYSELF AND MY KIDS. EATING AT JIMMY’S HOT DOG STAND WHERE MY BROTHER WORKED. CRAWFORD DEPARTMENT STORE, WHAT MEMORIES. I REMEMBER WALKING FROM MY HOUSE ON LAWNDALE, THE SCHWINN BUILDING WAS RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM MY HOUSE, TO THE TIFFIN THEATER SO I DIDN’T HAVE TO USE MY MONEY FOR THE BUS. DOES ANYONE REMEMBER THE MATTHEWS ROOFING COMPANY ON NORTH AVENUE? ALL THE NEAT STORES ALONG THE WAY, FANNIE MAY NEXT TO FERNDELL’S. I TRULY MISS CHICAGO AND ALL IT HAS TO OFFER, BUT DEFINITELY DON’T MISS THE WINTERS, I NOW LIVE IN PRESCOTT VALLEY, AZ AND PREVIOUSLY IN SAN DIEGO, CA. LOVE READING ALL THE POSTS, KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK AND TONS OF MEMORIES FROM THE 1950’S TO THE 1980’S. HOPE TO SEE SOME POSTS FROM SOME OLD FRIENDS.
