[novikain]

@PBMJR23

ps, the wiener used to sell salvia n cigarettes n u could smoke weed inside. then shit got hot, and everything was in the alley. no its just straight gone. oh well.

[misterpetey]

Nice one! My father owned the White Hen there on Main Street from '87 until around 2005...I grew up working there with my sister and brothers and the whole cast of Main Street freaks and geeks. Loved It! Mostly great memories, altho it did turn increasingly dangerous over the years. Cross-Rhodes is still there on Chicago Ave.

[matthewcooke42]

[PBMJR23]

I agree she is a great flimmaker

[TheRLSChannel]

WOw, that was great I watched the north one first, and I'm a south, ( and I dint even know..) I really wanted to see Capt. Nemo's sub shop near howard...I used to skate at Robert Crown too..all I can hear is STyx singing Come Sail Away....

I never drank in HS, but I knew people were.... seeing the Y was crazy!

Just wut I needed, was getting alittle E-town home sick.

[ifellintotheacid]

It's completely crazy how much Evanston has changed. I moved away in 2004 after living my entire life there, and when I came back over winter break I was freaking out!

[bif3c]

Wow. Some of the names that I see in these comments are bringing back memories!!! Thanks Jen for the great videos. I've been forwarding the link to all the 80's ETHS grads I can think of. To respond to thayoungsir, we skated at Robert Crown and went to the IHOP, even way back then. -Ann Tuzson

i live there you passed my block! yay

[collegeman1988]

I grew up in Evanston and lived on Hinman Street from 1967 to 1973. It's too bad that Baskin Robbins is no more. I remember that street corner as well as the street corner with the newsstand. I also remember the Coronet theater. My dad took me to see Dumbo at that movie theater when I was 5. Do you remember the Standard Car Wash, which was next to the cemetery? The car wash had a HUGE neon Standard sign. Thanks for the memories.

[ethsethsethseths]

I remember the 31 flavours and the dry ice well.

I grew up on Judson Avenue from 1963 to 1976, before moving to Europe as a junior at ETHS.

[AuECS]

great soundtrack

[celloLWF]

thank you. Although I was 6 years old in 1988, I remember those locations and I remember the music...

The missing 31 Flavors made me cry!

[Czosnkowainwazja]

Thanks to bring the best memories back, `80 RULES.

[thayoungsir]

Where's Robert Crown?, the Ihop. (aka, the Hood Hop), church and dodge...

i guess u have to be young to kno these things:-D

[328823]

say it aint so no pm club where are the kids going to get that md 2020

i saw purple rain at the coranet

[novikain]

a change about eths- DRUGS DRUGS DRUGS

1/3 of the kids openly admit to smoking weed, and you can buy xanax, adderall, kpins, desoxyn, ecstasy, weed, vikodin, pretty much anything, across the street at the log. it's pretty much where the wierd/awesome kids chill.

[PBMJR23]

u can't buy drugs at the log no more EPD got that on locked down

[novikain]

yeah u can, u just have to know the right people. most of them are little kids who think they'll get laid if they publicly smoke for some reason. most are faggoty scene kids or emo kids. its sad. a few years ago you could find doses or weed anywhere.

they bought the log to make a "garden."

[PBMJR23]

@novikain Which log u talking about, I am talking about the one dat is by the parking lot and the other said is mason park, cause Every time I get up go to work the police be rite their
