It might be my favorite seasoning :). Great on a hot dog. Great in tuna salad sandwiches :). I had no idea there was an amusement park at Western & Belmont. Pretty sure that's a strip mall now. How neat!<br /><br />And I've always thought it was funny that Illinois = Illinoy but Des Plaines = Dez Plainz.

Remember Dick Biondi...Everyone loved Larry Lujack! Remember Dick Biondi - he may be before your time. I workd at CBS radio for a while and remember seeing him sitting there in the middle of the room on a straight back chair looking so out of place(way after he had left Chicago air) and waiting for an interview.Karen V.

I can still smell the plastic and burning transistors of that little radio. Oh, yeah.LucyParkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12237811276304905966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-585638012794043667.post-59229258623605223702011-05-16T19:05:28.046-04:002011-05-16T19:05:28.046-04:00Great Chicago memories, Karen!

He came in a big box that looked like a Buckingham Palace guard house. I feel my anglophilia started then.<br /><br />Chicago never leaves you.
