As we tidy up from a lame “blizzard”…let’s take a look back at the “Great Blizzard of 1967″…(click to enlarge)
Money Where His Mouth Was
February 25, 2013Here’s a tidbit I picked up from a 1968 Glimpses article referencing an article from a 1920’s “The Bugler” (I’d sure like to see some of those newspapers) article. Wouldn’t it be cool if a modern day candidate made a pledge like this?
I’m left wondering how the 15 bucks was spent at the states attorneys bachelor party?
Nouveau Johns
February 22, 2013The weekend is here…let’s take a look back at a new building for John’s Buffet. The article comes from the Glimpses April 1957 edition and previews the plans for the project, which will feature a new liquor store…
and here’s the ad from later in the year announcing the new business…
and of course here’s what John’s looks like today, featuring a restaurant/bar instead of the original liquor store… (btw I took this picture as I was headed into the village board meeting….if you didn’t catch this February 21st meeting it was awesome…one for the record books)
