nice placement demo team!

The whole thing was somewhat anticlimactic wasn't it.
-
Nobody listens to classic rock anymore. I feel so alienated now. :(

Ralphie: That's for the crummy ad, douchebags!

"Be sure to drink your Ovaltine? Son of a bitch!!!"

...if I had the money...I'd by the land and the big stack...then hire the best architectural firm in the world...and have 'em design and refit it into a living-space for me...with a penthouse & deck on top... the taller th' stack- all th' better!
-
I used to ride my bike around there, and try to get a tour by telling the guard we know a Mr. Koblankos that said it was okay. We never got the tour. I wonder why he didn't btlieve us?
-
Where's the bike trail ? When did they build all of this crap on the old Ovaltine sight ? This was on Villa Ave, Villa Park ? What a waste of money.
-
I know that Ovaltine mix and milk was used for the mortar for the bricks in that stack.
-
...I always wanted to buy one of them stacks and then build a house in it up at the top for the fantastic view...plus a telescope and a deck for an elevated BB-Q and base-jump off it for kicks... These stacks are damn well-built- this idea has great potential... if ya got th' bucks!
wait is this villa park illinois?

Actually I'm more sorry to see Adam's Place on St. Charles go than the Ovaltine smokestack even though I haven't lived in Villa Park for more than a dozen years now. I'm old enough to remember when the factory was still active, and even took a tour when I was a little kid. It looks from the video that the stack almost clobbered the nearby condos on the way down.
