I absolutely love pinwheels and jelly stars, but no friggin' way am I eating them if they're made overseas. Screw that! Would be even worse than the notion of Pepperidge Farm cookies (remember their Connecticut yankee commercials in the 1970s in which they boasted about local goodness?) now being manufactured in Indonesia (!), which they most assuredly are. Outsource THIS....

Costco: for middle-class folks who are as cheap as poor people, but think Wal-Mart is too white trash. Maurice Lenell has great cookies, and I'll miss them. However, I'm really going to miss the Norridge Theatre. I'm sad to see that theatre go, as it is the only theatre in that area. The Norridge Theatre is also one of the few multi-plexes left that have that not-updated-since-the-70s look, which I find kind of charming. Now folks on the northwest side have got to go to Village Crossing (in Skokie!) to see a movie. Arrgghh.

I LOVE pinwheel cookies... Oh how I will miss them and all of their pink dust.

And yet, somehow I could probably still manage to down an entire box of Pinwheels. Thank goodness for the self-regulating paper cups.

The pleasant smell of those cookies is a fond memory from childhood. The taste, not so much.
