FRIDAY, JUNE 10
Celebrating the Chicago Tribune's 175th Year and I read their anniversary edition out FP (Front Porch). I have subscribed to this paper since 1973 (except about a year when I had a problem with its editorial process). In my mind it is the best newspaper in the country.
But sadly, my days of subscribing are about over because the price is now up to $130 for two months of Wed., Thurs., Fri., and Sunday delivery. I'm sure going to miss it.
Met Kevin and Kelly at Cuda's on Grasslake Road in Antioch. The other name for the place is "Iceboc" because ot is so cold in there, but the food really good so we dress for the ooccasion. They have a great Friday fish fry for $10.99, all you can eat.
Afterwards, we went to Lake View Place on Grasslake and enjoyed their Friday $1.50 draft beer. Came home and likewise enjoyed Margaritaville and the Ultimate Jukebox.
SATURDAY, JUNE 11
Went to Stucky's where we enjoyed the $1 draft pints and it was Angie's 50th birthday.
SUNDAY, JUNE 12
Bob Stroud played his Summerof 1972 special on his Rock and Roll Roots show on Chicago's WDRV, the Drive. These were the songs on the radio and in your record collection fifty years ago on June 12, 1972. I have listed the songs elsewhere in this blog.
Drove over to Miller Park in McHenry (right on the Fox River) to hear the band, but it was too crowded. We went to the McHenry American Legion and enjoyed the cocktails there. On the way home, we found Stucky's was closed, but Sunnyside wasn't, so went there before heading home.
