Re: Chicagoisms............
Remember the "Riverview Ramble" that was held every June? It was a charity one price entry fee for all the rides. We'd go every year. A good friend lives on School Street, right by the old park. Riverview shopping center is there now. I was terrified of the parachute ride......

Re: Chicagoisms............
I remember quite a bit of that.
Any Chicago guys remember going to your friends house as kids, and instead of knocking on the door, we would yell out " YO (insert name here)"

Re: Chicagoisms............
How about the Penny Candy stores? Did you guys have one in your neighborhood too? Or was that a thing that was everywhere?
We'd turn in pop bottles for a small amount of change and go get a whole bag of candy for it. Wax Lips, Dots on rolls of paper, some sort of sweet liquid in a wax tube, can't remember what some of it was called.

Re: Chicagoisms............
Pretty funny how we all pretty much shared the same TV broadcast memories,regardless of where we were located.. Chicagos Finest Newsmen
With me,it was the Ardmore Pharmacy or Al's Smoke Shop in Villa Park. Those two were candy central all through the 1960's & 70's..Bit-O-Honey,Bottle caps,Sugar Babies and Mr.Freezes etc.If the Blue haired old lady was working the pharmacy counter,you straigtened up & made sure you smiled to get a free pixie stick or sometimes a Balsa wood rubberband propelled airplane.If the beatnick teen with oily hair and soul patch was working at Al's,you could pretty much count on a free candy cigarette w/purchase. Click HERE to obtain some of those sugar memories today.
