Today, I took advantage of the weather before we are scheduled to get socked with 6-8inches and drove to Waukegan, Illinois to play NTN-Buzztime at the new Buffalo Wild Wings. It is located by Illinois Hwy-120 and US Highway-41 and it seemed familiar.
I asked the bartender if this was where Lakehurst had been, and he said it was, but that was before his time. Thanks, guy, I needed that. Lakehurst was the place to go back in the seventies and eighties and I went there often when I went to the Consumer Co-op in Waukegan and when I deejayed at Toby's in North Chicago. But, I hadn't been there in years.
The opening of Gurnee Mills, about five miles away spelled the end for the mall. There is nothing left of it that I can discern.
That is the second shopping mall I've lost, the other being Randhurst in Mt. Prospect.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
