JSS: Goodbye Randhurst-- Old Forty Fives-- Miserable Weather-- As the Newspapers Ride Off

JSS-- Just Some Stuff


1. GOODBYE RANDHURST-- Sad to see that one last sale is being held Friday and Saturday of remaining Randhurst Mall items. This was the first big mall in Chicagoland and a big hangout for all my buddies while at Palatine High School in the late sixties. Sad to see it go.


2. OLD FORTY-FIVES-- Came across a great website called Old Forty-Fives while looking at a cruise place in the local area. They had a fun video to the old Statler Brothers song "Do You Remember These." Every time they mentioned something, and they mentioned a lot, you saw a picture of it. Their website also had about ten other great videos. I watched several. http://oldfortyfives.com/DYRT.htm.

That will take you to the Statler Brothers song. Drop the DYRT.htm for the whole site. Worth a look.


3. MISERABLE WEATHER-- Just got in from clearing off the driveway again, this time only about three inches, but it is mighty c-o-l-d around here. It was zero degrees this morning and only 9 degrees right now. Then, there's the wind. Temps the next couple days will be at and below zero with -30 degree wind chills. Then, there is more of that awful white stuff forecast.


4. AS THE NEWSPAPERS RIDE OFF-- I see the Chicago Tribune is coming out with a tabloid edition for people who buy it at stores and boxes. It is sad to see newspapers on their way out. It seems that everything I like is going away these days.

Just Some Stuff. --RoadDog
