Hey guys, I have a lot of vintage ceiling fans for sale, although I am keeping this one. Please check my posts on VCF and DT.

Hey, I noticed the Cub Foods bag in the background (I remember that store!) Was this in the Chicagoland area? Or did they have Cub foods elsewhere...

Just Curious, I was born and raised in the Chicagoland area :)

@dslgunner1977 Cub Founds stores are in WI, IL, and MN. I think the HQ is in the Minneapolis area.

Oh ok

@mtspiffy Thanks.

They had one in Melrose Park, Illinois (Chicago suburb) when I was growing up...Come to think of it, it IS still around, they just moved accross the street into a different location - still in Melrose Park, IL though (I don't know why I thought they weren't around anymore). I haven't lived in Illinois since 2009 - they don't have Cub Foods in NC where I live now, just Food Lion, Harris Teeter, and Lowes Food (no affiliation to Lowes Home Center)
