Chicago's Northwest Suburbs: CheezBorgers and Old Times

Yesterday, Liz and I drove to Palatine and Arlington Hts. as a trip back into our past.

We drove Fairfield Road south to Old McHenry Road and then to Quentin Road to US-12. We drove this road many times to Liz's parents when we live in Round Lake Beach. We stopped at Save-A-Pet Animal Shelter on the way to make a donation.

I never go to Arlington Heights that I don't make a stop at Half-Price Books in Palatine. Visited Liz's parents at the cemetery in Arlington Hts and then to the old Randhurst Shopping Mall, which has a new configuration.

Ate at Billy Goat Tavern at Randhurst Village as it is now called. I've always wanted to try a "cheezborger and cheeps, no fries, Coke, no Pepsi" but it is not likely I'll get to Chicago to go to the original what with Chicago's present rip-off all tourists program.

Walked around Carson Pirie Scott store, which was one of the origina; big three occupants of Randhurst.

Then drove to Palatine and ate at Photos, on the site of the old Burger King where I worked in high school and part of college. Before that, drove around Winston Park and looked at our old homes and those of friends.

Nice Trip back to the Past. --RoadDog


HOW'S THAT AGAIN? Been through the mill...Had a rough time of it. Grain used to be ground up in the mills.
