Maurice Lennell Outlet Closes

2008_12_maurice_lennell.jpg

Today a Chicago institution closes. The Maurice Lennell cookie outlet in Norridge will be selling its final pinwheels, butter cookies and other tooth-cracking monstrosities as the land on which the outlet resides is slated to become a Costco. Lennell is said to be sourcing its production to overseas companies.

Maurice Lennell closing??? NOW where will Bozo's Circus get it's Bucket No. 1 prize???


Wait, what?... It is?... When?...So what's on television at noon now?...

That would be the "WGN Midday News" aka "The Tom Skilling Weather Hour."

I hope it's not too late to pick up a final bag of broken cookies for old time's sake.

Good Lord did these cookies suck. Even as a kid at my Grandma's house I'd stay far far away from these. The cookie that had a "cherry" in the middle of it's dough was the worst for me. I'm making a lemonface just thinking about these things!!!
