Rolling Meadows
 

Any one know what's going on with Rolling Meadows this year?

Re: Rolling Meadows
 

Last time I heard, is that it may be mvoing back to the Sears lots.

Re: Rolling Meadows
 

I have not heard Sears mentioned as a location. The city wants it moved to the Meijer's location at Rt.62 and Rt.58. The owner of the current location said it could stay another year till they start to build. The city council is meeting this Tuesday and the Cruise is the agenda.Taking it to a vote should complicate things nicely. I heard that they have had about 75-100 cars the last 2-weeks. I don't care were it moves to. Maybe they won't tell the Boom Box and then we can talk instead of yell at our friends!.
L78 I may need another building, I promise to be a good tennant...

The Sears thing was a number of weeks ago.

Re: Rolling Meadows
 

I lived in the neighborhood of Brockway, Plum Grove Rd., Smith Street and West Robertson in Palatine...from 1968 to 1973. What a cool place to grow up! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Rolling Meadows
 

What a perfect time for that too...hotrods everywhere. remember Norstates(sp?)high octane.

Re: Rolling Meadows
 

Hmmm...No https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif

I DO remember the Sunoco gas station near "old" downtown Palatine (when I lived there it was a village township with a volunteer fire department...kinda like Mayberry). The population then was ~15,000 or less.

One of my friends dads owned the Ben Franklin downtown...he was on the volunteer fire dept. and died trying to save his own store from burning down. He almost made it out, too. They found him about 4 steps from the door. It totally sucked!

Sorry for the downer story. I went to Sanborn and Wood St Elementary... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

I've heard that Palatine is huge now... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif

Re: Rolling Meadows
 

Looking out my window at work here it is pretty huge Bruce. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif Want me to go take a picture of your old house?

Re: Rolling Meadows
 

Darren...that would WAY cool. The address is/was 58 West Robertson Palatine, Ill. 60067

It was a white house on the corner of West Robertson and North Brockway St. There was a totally cool turn of the century house directly across from us on the other side of Brockway. The day before we moved in...a tornado took out their carriage house and a tree in our yard.

When my mom found out what had happened..she wanted to move. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif We didn't though...what a cool place.

Re: Rolling Meadows

Re: Rolling Meadows
 

I talked to a friend's wife (Pal.P.D. dispatch)she told me that they are planing a Friday night cruise in Palatine at the old K -Mart now Sear's???. Located at the NE corner of Hicks and Rt.14. no other details. Also hear that Randhurst shopping mall is willing to host the Friday Meadows cruise if they can't figure it out.Will post as I hear.
L78 thanks for the call from family.

Re: Rolling Meadows
 

Wow...thanks Darren. It'll be cool to see the "old" house (if it's still there!) Can you do me a favor and shoot the house across the street? If you're facing my "old" house...it would be across Brockway to the left.

Thanks...and I don't think we'll need to do the video camera thing again! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif

(My wife still thinks that we're all nuts here https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif)

Re: Rolling Meadows

Darren...thanks so much for the pics. Now I'm on a mission to see if I can find any old pics of the house. I think we have some from the blizzard of '68... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif

Re: Rolling Meadows
 

You meant 67 right? A senior moment perhaps? http://www.chipublib.org/004chicago/...nowstorms.html

I grew up in Mt. Prospect for a while. We lived right near Busse Flowers off of 14 (under the water tower) and remember that Mt. Prospect dumped mountains of snow in Busse's field.

Re: Rolling Meadows
 

Hmmm...I think we got there in 68? I know we have pics of the house under a ton of snow. I could be wrong...it "could" be a "Senior moment"! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif

Re: Rolling Meadows
 

Man, talk about flash backs! Does anybody remember or was old enough to go see any groups at the Cellar(sp) in Arlington Heights?

Re: Rolling Meadows
 

Close but not the Cellar was "B ginnings" in Schaumburg. I saw The Boyzz there in 1981. Had an awesome questionable ID back then.

Re: Rolling Meadows
 

I was too busying Mac'n at http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/imag...t_by_Zikes.gif The Thirsty Whale.

Re: Rolling Meadows
 

I lived 4 doors south of The Whale which is actually a certifiable crawling distance. Actually in the "summer kitchen/servants quarters" of a mansion right on River Road and Grand. The flood of "87 chased me out.

Re: Rolling Meadows
 

I live just down the Street on Brockway. I think I will take a walk down to your old house.

I also heard there was going to be cruise night at the old K Mart now Sears Essentials. That would be great. The wife and kids can spend money and I can bring my 68 Chevy II over.

The Rolling Meadows show is always a good show.

Re: Rolling Meadows
 

When did you go to school there? Before or after 1969-1973 for grade and middle school?

That's cool that you live so close. One of my friends dad's was the town barber (Just like Mayberry) His last name was Vogt... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: Rolling Meadows
 

Where is the Cruise tonight?

Re: Rolling Meadows
 

I may run by the old K-Mart tonight.

I will let you know what is going on.

This reminds me of the old Super Dog and Axel rolling rink days.
