Re: Chicago Trivia
Hey Ken--I remember ALL of those places. Do you remember Skip's Fiesta Drive in on North Ave. next to the Polk Bros. warehouse? It was either in Melrose Park or Stone Park--I think it was unincorporated back then. Don't forget the Pie Pan in Skokie. These were the places where we hung out to pick up races back in '62-'67!

Re: Chicago Trivia
Wow, Mother's Pinball, I never thought I'd see a pic of that place! My brother and I drove his 68 GTO there to enter a foosball tournament. We were good, good enough for the local arcades and bowling alleys. But we got our butts whipped early on by a couple guys that I think were toying with us just to keep the crowd interested. There were times when I never saw the ball go past my goalie.
Old Chicago is now an Auto Auction Arena. The original monolithic concrete building is long gone. Thanks for the link, great memories. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Chicago Trivia
Pretty cool stuff. I lived about one mile from the Jensen Toboggan Slides, our grade school went to Kiddieland on the last day of school each year, dated a girl in High School whose family owned Fisherman’s Dude Ranch……

Re: Chicago Trivia
I worked at Dispensa's Kiddie Kingdon. Ran a little kiddie rocket ride where the kids went up in these little rocket cars and went in a circle and shot their toy guns at me. I worked there about a week and couldn't take it anymore with the kids shooting at me and the sun beating down on my burnt face and arms!
i think I was about 14 at the time so that would have been around 75.
