Where grandma and grandma made it rain.
I feel unwell.
There was one in Oak Park, too? 1116 Lake Street...isn't that a Lane Bryant or Chipotle now?
What a comedown.
It don't mean a thing if you ain't got that swing...
And goodness, doesn't THAT bring me back - my grandparents to their dying day used to give their phone number as EUclid 3-####. :)
I still remember my grandparents' old phone number as NAtional2-####.
Actually, I can recall that better than I can recall my own phone number.
I like the words on the right side... "Make NEW Friends"
Yeah, ditch those old losers...
this place rocks, and it's a nice road trip out there. i went and picked up my CTA signs out there. v. cool. wish i had had more time to spend.
also ... it's funny that the more things change, the more things stay the same. my friends and i just saw an ad on the el for what seemed to amount to a couples dating service? a place for couples to meet other couples? and it said something like .. none of our friends like sushi ... so we got new ones.
we were laughing our asses off at how shallow that was. really? your friends don't like sushi so you're ditching them? awesome.
I saw the couples dating service ad too. How close to swinging is that? Creepyfunny.
ophmarketing, did your grandparents own Lincoln Carpet?!
Oh, so THAT'S why I kept getting carpet swatches for Christmas...
No, sadly their number wasn't NA2-9000. Although out-of-towners did often call them collect.
