Fists, bats, and bottles days, before guns became the norm in the gang. Most of the gangs were just about the neighborhood and hanging out together. Stock art from the printer as well as some hand drawn illustrations were the back bone of many of the cards. Some cards are pretty humorous, with some off the wall illustrations, logos, sayings, and rhymes. They don't make them like they used to..."</i><br /><br /><a href="http://wearesupervision.blogspot.com/2009/03/chicago-lesser-known-arts-history.html" rel="nofollow">CHICAGO'S LESSER KNOWN ARTS HISTORY LESSON or OG ART GALLERY </a>G.

If memory serves, his last name was Prince — probably an Ellis Islandization of something like Przynbzycycz (everyone gets spooked by those voweless names). Yes, a Polish prince, who once ran for the office of Coroner, but I don't remember if he won.<br /><br />That Watra, if memory serves at all, used to be Adam Furniture once upon a time in the Sixties. I think my family bought some furniture in there at one time. It was silent as a tomb, and a salesman came down this flight of stairs like Bela Lugosi. Or so I remember it. All that blank space to the right of the store was once filled in by the Brighton Theater: which I'm guessing we'll get to with your next entry.Rich Chwedykhttp://www.sfwa.org/members/chwedyk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2840267469201344530.post-72977334515563312102009-06-02T00:44:20.961-06:002009-06-02T00:44:20.961-06:00I watched "the Fugitive" last night, with Harrison...I watched "the Fugitive" last night, with Harrison Ford.

Just goes to show what a lame movie it was.Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.com
