Is Bobb (B-O-B-B...sorry, those old Bobb Chevy radio spots reached my head...) Chevrolet still on Livingston and Parsons? I very well recognize the landmarks- the old Bonded station and Sohio as well. My family used to travel on Parsons en route to my grandmother's.

I remember when the nails place at Forest and Parson's was a Dairyland Ice cream and there was a drugstore at the corner of Whittier and Parson's. I even worked at the Library. and there was a Kroger's at Thurman and Parsons and my grandmother had a shoe repair at 1208 S Parsons. way before this was taken.. Hasty Tasty at Parsons and Frebis I think... And the Parson's Theatre

Ahh the old 7-11. I remember when after school at Barrett, I would there to get a hot dog and a big gulp..then they got robbed, now it's just a liquor store that gets robbed. Definitely a trip down memory lane, even though i still live in the South End. Has to be around 88 or 89 since it was a Sohio station.

the cars still look the same blah

[halose7en1980]

@cjmorton  true, only difference is, is that they are rusted shit boxes worth $150 with a sound system worth $1000 in it.

This is funny!!!! Like the jams on the radio. I almost forgot what Parsons used to look like. I've lived on the South Side ALL my life so I probboly know you guys if your from there yourself. I just showed this to my kids and they are crackin' up at how different things look. GOOD TIMES, GOOD TIMES. I'm 41 now and feelin' the age watchin' this :)
