Should be interesting driving through down town Geneva if we get any heavy snowfalls this winter, I've already that running in full time 4wd in the rain isn't a bad idea when driving through down town.

Are you kidding Harry, we're stuck with what's at the bottom of the barrel!

If you want to see bottom of the barrel, come to Florida!

Oh well, our snowless winter was sure nice while it lasted.

[Joe Handley]

Lift with your legs - not your back. Hey Dr. Cranky, it's 77 and sunny up here. Maybe we should take the scooters out for a ride? Supposed to get cold tonight and into the next couple fo days.

I was going to shovel the drive since it wasn't even an inch deep at the time.............got out to the garage and found that backing the parents van up and getting the snow blower out was going to be less work than just trying to get to the shovels.

Some friends out in Virgil (near Maple Park) and I are planning on racing our R/C's this Sunday in one's back yard and one sent me a text message while I was out clearing the drives (did the neighbor's too while I was at it.)........ He texted; "Hope ur ready for a snow race."

[crazyjim]

If you're out that way, Joe, stop by Ethics Auto Body and say hi to LT. His shop is across 64 from the racetrack in Maple Park.

When I use to live in Northern Indiana we always would do a road trip to Downtown Chicago for pizza at a place I can't remember the name of,it was downstairs and you could carve your name or anything else for that matter on the tables or walls.They are well known for their deep dish pizza,anyone know who I am referring to ? I also miss the vendors on the corners selling Vienna hot dogs and hot tamales.Believe it or not I miss White Castle also,the nearest to me is south in Edwardsville or when I go to Indy I always stop and get some for the ride home and for later when I get home.

George, the pizza place you describe sounds like Geno's East as I used to go there back in the 60's.

[George]

Yes that is the name,thanks Nick.I believe it was on Rush St,pretty cool place and always had a hard time finishing the pan of pizza.

[High octane]

As a former "Chicago native" I've been there several times and used to hang out on Rush street also.
Those were the good old days as it was great living in the city back in the 50's & 60's.

Well my brother and I were born at Inglewood Hospital and we lived the first 8 years of my life on the south side by Riverview park,it was walking distance from the house which was on S Honre.We went to school at John H Seward school and then moved to Northern Indiana when I turned 9.My dad first was a delivery person for Marshall Fields before he got a real good job at NY Central Railroad.Those were the good old days and had many friends in school I had to leave behind as well as neighborhood friends(girls included).

I was always a "north sider" but in my later years I did work with a lot of south siders in my trade. I had cousins that lived on north Honore St.
